DJ Smiles Davis got her start in the music industry as a professional dancer having nurtured

her talent as a performer with Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre, she also worked with

Lauryn Hill as a movement coach and back up dancer for Lenny Kravitz and Missy Elliot. Shesoon discovered her talents on the wheels of steel and began acquiring early fans for her
