Once upon a time, deep in the heart of the Mexican jungle, there lived a young boy named Jimmy Hits. He was raised by a tribe of vampires who had taken him in when his parents were killed by a jaguar. Despite the fact that he was different from the other members of the tribe, they loved and protected him like one of their own.

As Jimmy Hits grew older, he became fascinated by the sounds and rhythms that surrounded him in the jungle. He would often spend hours listening to the songs of the birds and the drums of the tribe, and began experimenting with creating his own music using the natural instruments around him.

Despite his love for music, Jimmy Hits knew that he could never truly fit in with the vampires. So, on the night of his 18th birthday, he made the brave decision to leave the jungle and seek out a new life.

He traveled to the city, where he found work as a DJ at a local club. His unique style, which blended traditional jungle rhythms with modern electronic beats, quickly made him a popular figure in the underground music scene.

As his fame grew, Jimmy Hits decided to take the next step in his career and began producing his own music. He released his first song under the pseudonym “I Feel It”, paying homage to the tribe that had raised him and the sounds that had influenced him.

The song was a huge success and soon Jimmy Hits was touring, performing to sold-out crowds and receiving critical acclaim. He had finally found a place where he truly belonged.

DJ John Parker Bio

John Parker was born in San Francisco in July 1959. His father was a musician and professional drummer who played jazz, blues and R&B. John acquired his love of music at an early age and cites his father as his biggest influence, and adds that his father’s wide array of music genres and sound technical skills like keeping the beat “On The One” is what drove John to get into Djing. John started out in 1979 playing his favorite genre funk music as well as 80’s rock, r&b/ top 40 and new wave on through the mid 90’s the party circuit and school dances before graduating to local clubs. It was around 2010 after going to The End Up (San Francisco) on a Sunday afternoon where he discovered house music and the soulful house stylings of David Harness and Ruben Mancias and never looked back.

Over the last 20 years John has Dj’d at many venues including the legendary and now defunct Santa Rosa Inn and The Black Cat Bar in Penngrove Ca. As well as R3 Hotel, The Historic River Theatre in Guerneville. He’s also performed at several festivals including San Francisco Pride and Russian River Pride in Guerneville Ca.

Lolita Hernandez

Lolita Hernandez is a recent transplant of Santa Rosa, Ca. where she is now living in Tempe, AZ. Lolita made her way through the scene with the help of E&F Productions, Love Beat Productions, and now is Sonoma County Pride’s resident Drag Queen even if she is living far away! Lolita brings high energy, physical embodiment, and fun every time she performs! You definitely will be having a fun time while watching her. If not you can always count on her daughter Billie Jean Queen to replace the fun for her. Now living in AZ she is a part of a talented group of performers/drag family called the Grandes. Her sister Espresso Grande brought her into the scene in Arizona and now Lolita is making her way into the scene slowly, but so far the scene is growing and she has to fight to be seen. Which is easier said than done!

Lolita always misses home but when the opportunity arises to perform for Sonoma County Pride she will take it since Santa Rosa has been home for many years, with many opportunities, and fun! She looks forward to showing you how Arizona has been treating her since she moved!”
