Kelly Aiglon

(Milwaukee)
Genre: DJ

Kelly bought her first vinyl at age 8. It was Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart” and there are absolutely no regrets. These days, Kelly DJs at WMSE—you can hear her every other Sunday at 10:30 pm for the Female Focus show. You can also find her at the decks at Lola’s in Madison doing an ongoing funk/soul/freestyle set. To get even more jollies, Kelly performs improv at ComedySportz and Interchange Theatre (The Real Housewives of Milwaukee, Cringe, The Sherlock Files, Commando). To keep up with her rampant thrifting and gardening obsessions, Kelly works as an editorial and marketing writer.
