Miss Nine

DJ Miss Nine has been a major presence on the dance scene for quite some years now. With her eclectic taste in music, ranging from energetic grooves with plenty of vocals to a deeper, progressive sound, Miss Nine turns heads and moves feet anywhere she performs. Amsterdam Miss Nine was born in Germany as Kristin Schrot and at the age of 16, she started her career – not as a DJ, but as a model. Shortly after, she secured a worldwide contract with Elite Model Management. After meeting her boyfriend, a DJ, she moved to Amsterdam and while living there, she started experimenting with her boyfriend's turntables. She discovered her passion for music and decided to become a DJ as well.

This move allowed Miss Nine to enter the forefront of the international DJ scene for the first time. 925 Digital In 2008, Miss Nine started her own record label: 925 Digital. Having spent some years in the dance scene, she then realized that there were many great progressive-house tracks that didn't get the release that they deserved.
