“Things were really heavy for me at that time. I felt like something was wrong; I wasn’t able to get out of bed or do anything, because nothing was adding up. I didn’t even know what I was in the middle of, but I was coming to terms with who I wanted t...
“Ms Carrie Stacks is an extension of myself, whoever that self is,” says the London nightlife icon, DJ and musician. “I don’t do tattoos, but it’s like a tattoo almost, a reminder to keep going.

You likely already know Carrie from her involvement in the infamous queer club night PDA, which she founded alongside Mischa Mafia and Akinola Davies, or the wild DJ sets that she describes as “dramatic, destructive, messy as hell and very fun”. Although an interest in fashion lead to a detour via Central Saint Martins, it was always about music for Carrie.
With a pastor father, Carrie grew up playing piano in church, though she wasn’t really supposed to be listening to music outside of gospel.

As for the current state of PDA, Carrie’s got plans to grab the baton and take it forward in a new direction with her AQEM project. “I’m starting the Association of Queer Ethnic Minorities with a few friends,” she explains. “We’re trying to bring everyone together by putting physical and non-physical roofs over the whole thing.
