She’s not just on air—she’s in a league of her own.
Imani Ortiz, widely known as DJ Bad Gyrl, isn’t just spinning records—she’s rewriting the rules of independent radio. As CEO and on-air personality at 22.3 Takeover Vegas Radio, Imani has built the only female-owned internet station to receive a mayoral proclamation from the City of Las Vegas—and yes, she holds a Guinness World Record too.

Heard in 205 countries and over 850 U.S. cities, her side hustle is global. Her mission? To amplify the voices too often silenced, to make space for the culture, and to mentor the next generation while building a media empire from scratch. Her show Morning Mayhem has been named the most entertaining on air, and she’s been featured in Billboard Magazineas "The Voice of Las Vegas."

But her mic didn’t always come easy. Imani started in the storm—grappling with grief, hardship, and heavy doubts. A single call saved her life. And from that moment forward, she vowed to use her voice not just to survive, but to save. Now, she mentors students, fights for causes like childhood cancer and Black Lives Matter, and leads with heart, hustle, and a headset.

She’s not broadcasting—she’s breaking barriers.
