Angélika Beener’s love for music is both a passion and a birthright. A proud South Bronx native born at the dawn of hip hop into a family of renowned jazz musicians, she grew up immersed in rhythm, history, and culture — a foundation that shaped her dynamic career as a musicologist, DJ, award-winning writer, and media producer. Her insightful, heartfelt work has appeared in The New York Times, Jazz at Lincoln Center, NPR, and on GRAMMY®-winning albums, while her performances at notable venues have further cemented her voice in the music community. Whether hosting, performing, archiving, or educating, Angélika brings warmth, intellect, and deep reverence for jazz to everything she does — and when she’s off the clock, she’s crate digging for rare vinyl, watching indie documentaries, or cheering on the New York Knicks.
