Vashtie wears many hats—director, designer, DJ—and today she's highlighting her skills behind the behind the ones and twos with her new mix #ONE16GOAT. It celebrates Aaliyah, Sade, FKA Twigs, and Kate Moss, who all share a Jan. 16 birthday, and the artist affectionately known as “downtown’s sweetheart” says she felt compelled to pay homage to these women who have affected her life in a positive light.
"These women have inspired and influenced generations, cultures, sub-cultures, fashion, style, etc. Personally, I find them all to be personal muses," Vashtie said. "Not only are they gorgeous creatures, but beyond that—they are wildly creative, unique, and one-of-a-kind. When I learned that they all share the same birthday, I was amazed and knew I had to encapsulate this holiday! It's a short, but sweet mix made by your favorite Taurus... me!"
