Misstress Barbara

Music

Misstress Barbara is quite simply the queen of the night.  A veteran DJ who routinely holds court across the globe’s many dance floors, Barbara Bonfiglio (as she’s known to her parents) got her start spinning house and techno records during the late-nineties heyday of Montreal’s big after-hours clubs. In 1999, she began releasing a slew of 12-inch singles that helped raise her profile among the club cognoscenti. Since then, she has become one of the more in-demand DJ’s on the global scene, regularly touring the world to perform in the main rooms of some of the world’s biggest clubs. In 2009, she released, I’m No Human, her debut artist album that brought her vocals and love of synth-pop to the forefront and featured collaborations with fellow Montreal rock star, Sam Roberts. (DN)
