DJ Rap

Charissa Saverio (also known as DJ Rap) is a British drum and bass disk jockey, possibly the best known female DJ worldwide. While the majority of her work is in the jungle style, her more popular work is in traditional electronic music. Her most well-known cd, Learning Curve, was released in 1999 to critical acclaim and resulted in several highly stylized music videos, including 2 versions of Good To Be Alive (one for the CD version and another for the rarer radio remix) and Bad Girl, a song about having to be a strong woman to survive in today's world, which puts her previous occupation as a topless dancer in sharp relief.

Since "Learning Curve," Saverio has focused more on DJ set CDs, including "Touching Bass," a 2-CD set with drum and bass and breaks tracks. She is planning on a follow-up in 2006, this time with drum and bass and house tracks.

DJ Rap has also done vocals for several artists, including BT (for Giving Up The Ghost, Believer) and Art of Trance (for Madagascar - Domi Nation Remix).

She once appeared in a commercial for Twix candy bars.
