Some people spin records. DJ Funkie Tutu spins time.
Since the 1970s, she’s been dropping tracks, rhymes, and unexpected truths like confetti on a disco floor. The alter ego of Gayle Olson, DJ Funkie Tutu is the original rhythm behind the Go Cybernaut movement—an eternal sparkler who proves that music, silliness, and soul can change the vibe of the whole room. And music? Nothing would exist in Funkie’s world without it!
Her costumes are legendary: psychedelic hats, glittered-up headphones, long white braids, and heart-hand dance moves that have been known to turn strangers into friends. She shares news in rhyming couplets, drops poems like basslines, and soundtracks the soul of Go Cybernaut from behind the booth—or sometimes a TikTok, YouTube drop, or spontaneous Insta post.
To know DJ Funkie Tutu is to understand that joy is a form of resistance and laughter is the oldest beat we know.
Grooving proudly within the spectrum and inspired by her diversity (and playlists), she has created her Life Soundtrack of influential music and artists responsible for her musical persona.
