"I use the Oxygen 8 v2 controller and Fast Track Ultra whilst on the road, with my schedule I am constantly away and these products have been vital to me because of their outstanding sound quality, ease of use, and most importantly they are perfect for traveling; they make the transition from home studio to mobile set up seamless. Some of my software favorites include Minimonsta and Oddity synths and are always getting constant use, they have a real warm analog sound. Working with the M-Audio team has been absolutely wonderful; outstanding service and always available! They are really ahead of the curve when it comes to production hardware and software"

Kicking off her music career at age 12 as a drummer in local bands, Misstress Barbara immediately became absorbed by classic rock, punk and hard music. In 1994, her discovery of the electronic music scene prompted her to toss her drumsticks, buy 2 turntables and a mixer and learn the art of DJing. In 1996, she scored her first booking and hasn’t looked back since. Over the years, Misstress Barbara has worked with several internationally acclaimed musicians, DJ’s, and record labels, has created her own label “ITURNEM”, and has licensed her music to the videogame and film industries. In 2001 Barbara received the SODEC prize at the annual MIMI’s (International Initiative Montreal's Music); as well as ‘Best Breakthrough Underground DJ’ at 2003’s UK Underground Music Awards

Consistent with the metamorphosis of her music, Misstress Barbara continues to challenge herself professionally by seeking out new vehicles for her music. At the beginning of 2007, the tragic passing of a close family member sparked yet another transformation; Misstress Barbara began to write and compile lyrics. Throughout all of 2007 she has worked diligently in her studio in Montreal to mold and shape the new direction she is heading. In 2008, the release of her first artist album will see Barbara step out from behind the turntables and in front of a microphone as she sings a majority of all the vocals, with collaborations from the likes of The Brazilian Girls, and many others. The addition of singer to her artistic resume is just another highlight to her already long list of achievements.
