With her flamboyant and colorful outfits, shiny pink lipgloss and effervescent presence on social media, DJ Lipgloss looks the part of a young zillenial coming up in the DJ game. But the truth is that she’s fashionably late to the party having raised three children and grinded for 16 years in hospitality before launching a second career as a mobile DJ in her fourth century around the sun.

 

“They call me Glam-ma,” Appling chuckles. “I always loved to party, always loved the nightlife scene.”

 

In the first eight years of her DJ journey, Lipgloss has performed thrice for 50 Cent, opened for Ginuwine, spun at the Chicago Women’s Expo and wrecked shop across Chicagoland at town spots such as Brick’s Night Club, Mike’s Place, Bassline and Touch of the Past. She pivoted to livestreaming in 2020 and exploded as an online DJ personality who sucked in thousands of streamers on the regular with her magnetic personality and iconic song choices.

 

“I made so much money through CashApp and Facebook it was unbelievable,” Appling says. “I love being a DJ because I always compare it to being a chef. We’re in the kitchen cooking it up and what we dish out is what’s on the menu.”

​

“All set up!”

 

Lipgloss emerged from the shutdown firing on all cylinders with destination weddings lined up from Cancun to Atlanta. She’s even designed and launched her own event space that is now booking.

Bryant Turner
Comedian

BLT a creatively gifted Comedian was born and raised on the South Side of Chicago.  He uses comedy with real life scenarios to tickle the funny bone of people of all ages. Unknowingly at an early age, he began to use all types of humor which didn’t really appeal to his grammar school teachers, but his humorous antics he used to get a laugh seemed like the right thing to do at the time.  His mother knew at that early age that he was destined for greatness and was given the “gift of laughter.”

​

As he grew older, he realized his comic ability was a God given gift which he has since taken around the world with positive results.  Make no mistake his life, like many others, has been filled with many struggles and tragedies but through it all, instead of losing hope and artistic determination he turned that into laughter.

​

One night, many years ago, he stepped on a stage at an open mic event and the gift spiraled into a force to be reckoned with ever since.  As a result, BLT has served up his comedic geniuses around the world for nearly a decade and a half.

BLT has been seen on national TV shows such as The Jenny Jones Show, BETs Comic View, Christian Comedy Network, Comedy Central's Laugh Riot and Featured on Meet The Brown's stand-up comedy show.

 

Through motivating, inspirational messages, you will always find BLT capturing and healing the hearts of thousands, electrifying audiences with laughter to the tune of several standing ovations. His gift has made room for him to be coined as “The Minister of Laughter.”
