Baltimore's club queen, her
passion for music began at a

tirelessly to climb the ranks in

00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:48,240
the male dominated industry
amidst the bright lights and
31
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,720

welcome, dear friends, to no.
Tears for black girls.
40
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,680
Despite Maxi's unwavering
determination, Brownstone
41
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:30,160
continued to soar with their
1995 single Grapevine, reaching
42
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:35,520
#49 on Billboard's Hot 100 and
claiming the 6th spot on the Hot
43
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,400
RnB and Hip Hop Song chart.
They were highly.

00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,800
Sought after for interviews and
performances.

00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,080
But whispers of trouble.

47
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,800
Some murmured that she had
fallen I'll with.
48
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,440
Bronchitis, while others.
Hinted at internal strife within
49
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,840
the group, it was during this
time that Maxi and Nicki stepped
50
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,000
up in place of Mimi, just in
time for the release of their
51
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:08,440
second album Still Climbing in
May 1997, the hit single 5 Miles
52
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,160
From Empty.
Solidified the Lady's powerful
53
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:12,760
voices.
As an unstoppable.
54
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,640
Force.
But soon after, Maxi made a
55
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:18,680
fateful decision to.
Pursue a solo.
56
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,400
Career in an Instagram Live
session, Nikki.
57
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,840
Revealed that despite.
All of the changes within the
58
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,160
group, she never.
Doubted their future.
59
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,200
However, it was ultimately Maxi
who brought them together in the
60
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,560
1st place and her departure left
a void in their dynamic.
61
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:40,440
In 1997, amidst the release of
their second album, Brownstone
62
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,840
disbanded.
Maxie ventured across the seas
63
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,040
to London to continue her
musical pursuits, signing with
64
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,720
Mercury Records.
Her singles When I Look Into
65
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,920
Your Eyes and This Is Where I
Want to Be gained moderate
66
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,840
success on UK charts but not
enough to secure the release of
67
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:03,360
her upcoming solo album.
She returned to LA in 2000 and
68
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,320
three 2004 and welcomed a son
with her husband, Soul Shock
69
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,240
while living a.
Quiet life as a devoted.
70
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,280
Wife and mother Maxi remained
close with Nikki.
71
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,959
After much reflection, she was
ready to reunite Brownstone in
72
00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:21,200
2007.
With new music in the works and
73
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,800
shows lined up, they officially
reunited.
74
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,240
By 2015, Brownstone was back on
track, and Maxie was.
75
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:31,840
Thrilled for what the future
held.
76
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,680
But on February 27th, she spent
the day at her 11 year old son's
77
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,480
soccer game before returning
home.
78
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,160
There are conflicting reports,
but it is unclear if Maxie's son
79
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,280
accompanied her.
Back to the house or if.
80
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:49,680
She was alone regardless.
It is said that she had a.
81
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,080
Few glasses of wine while
enjoying some downtime on her
82
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,520
back patio.
As the evening progressed, Maxi
83
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,320
got up from her seat to go
inside.
84
00:05:00,280 --> 00:05:01,680
Perhaps due to the?
Alcohol.
85
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,080
She stumbled and fell on the
threshold of her.
86
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,320
Patio door.
Tragically, she was.
87
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,800
Holding a glass of wine that
shattered upon impact, cutting
88
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,840
her throat in two different
places and severing Major.
89
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:17,800
Arteries.
There was a woman named Maxi.
90
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,040
Who left?
This world too soon.
91
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,280
The story.
Goes that she.
92
00:05:22,280 --> 00:05:25,960
Fell and sustained a head
injury, bleeding out alone until
93
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,880
her husband found her.
Hours later.
94
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,800
Rumors swirled, some saying she
took her own life in depression.
95
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,600
While others whispered.
Of the strange ways of her.
96
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:36,920
Soul shocked.
Husband.
97
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,360
It's unclear how the truth
emerged, perhaps through cameras
98
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,240
or skilled investigators.
But police ruled.
99
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,400
It an accident and her brother
rebuked the false claims spread
100
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,240
online.
Her passing shook not only
101
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:51,160
those.
Close to her.
102
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,400
But also fans and fellow artists
who admired her talent.
103
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,440
Brownstone, the group she
belonged to with Nikki and Mimi,
104
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:01,120
struggled.
After her death.
105
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,800
But eventually carried on with
music and performances.
106
00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:09,040
Nikki shared a precious memory
of Maxi's kindness towards her,
107
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,280
keeping it close alongside a
photo.
108
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:14,520
Of their trio.
Though gone from this world,
109
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,680
Maxi's voice lives on through
timeless songs still loved by
110
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,040
many.
And Speaking of love.
111
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,600
Whispers suggest soul shock.
May have been linked to both
112
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,800
Maxi and Tracy in the past and
present, though it could simply
113
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,400
be a collaboration.
As Tracy revives.
114
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,720
His music career only time will.
Tell if there's.
115
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,400
More than meets the eye between
these two musicians.
116
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,040
But for now, let us remember
Maxie.
117
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,920
'S fearless spirit.
And hold on to the memories we
118
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:45,600
have.
Of her.
119
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,520
In the heart of Maryland, there
lived a young soul with a love
120
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,040
for music that flowed through
her veins.
121
00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:00,720
Born on an autumn day in 1978,
Kia Danielle Edgerton was.
122
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,240
Cherished by her.
Parents and adored by her
123
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,360
younger sister.
Her father.
124
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,200
'S love for DJ ING sparked a
fire within her, and at only 11
125
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:14,040
years old, she knew her calling.
With determination and passion,
126
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,120
she honed her craft in secrecy
until she revealed her dreams to
127
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,760
her family at the age of 15.
Together they searched.
128
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,920
Pawn shops for her own set of DJ
equipment and soon she was
129
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,680
mixing and mastering beats like
a.
130
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,440
Pro.
By the time she reached 11th
131
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,760
grade, Kia had mastered.
The Art of.
132
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,800
Beat matching and scratching.
She would host.
133
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,840
Basement parties where friends
danced in the dark to her club
134
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,840
music.
Her talent did not go unnoticed
135
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,400
and soon she was booking gigs.
At local clubs.
136
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:50,840
Adopting the name DJK Swift,
inspired by female pioneers like
137
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,960
Coco Chanel.
Jazzy, Joyce.
138
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,040
And Spinderella Kia.
Believed she too.
139
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,560
Could make a mark in the
industry.
140
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,760
After.
Graduating high school in 1990.
141
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,000
Six, she briefly.
Attended Community.
142
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,080
College but her.
Love for D Jing pulled her away.
143
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,240
Her mother.
A dedicated educator.
144
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,640
May have been surprised by this
decision, but she believed in
145
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,560
Kia's ability to move people
through.
146
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:19,960
Music at just. 17 years old, Kia
landed an internship at a local
147
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:24,320
radio station and with hard work
and dedication, became the host
148
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,040
of her own show alongside DJ
Squirrel.
149
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,920
Wide.
In a short amount of time.
150
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,360
Kia proved.
That age and gender were no.
151
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,280
Barriers to success.
In a male dominated industry,
152
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,200
her natural talent and
unwavering work.
153
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,600
Ethic spoke for itself.
Kia K Swift.
154
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,720
Was more than just Baltimore's
club queen.
155
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:46,680
She was a shining star whose
light illuminated the.
156
00:08:46,680 --> 00:08:48,440
Hearts of all who heard her
beats.
157
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,320
And though she left.
This world too.
158
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,760
Soon, her legacy lives on
through her music and the
159
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:58,880
memories she left behind.
At the start of her career, Kia
160
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,360
was filled.
With a flutter of nerves, but
161
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,960
she possessed an inner strength.
That refused to allow failure.
162
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,680
She poured hours.

00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,320
Her show?
On the biggest urban station in
165
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,160

of MTV, and they turned to Kia
for an insider's look at

Baltimore.
177
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,000
But beyond the glitz and
glamour, Kia was simply a woman
178
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,560
from B Moore, a humble soul who
never forgot where she came
179
00:10:05,560 --> 00:10:09,000
from.
She extended a helping hand to.

to.
Herself, always.
186
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,920
Dressing in casual urban wear
and embracing her natural.
187
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:39,120
Beauty for Kia, it was always.
About her artistry and drive
188
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,160
not.
Just physical appearance.
189
00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:45,640
She stayed grounded in the love
and support of her hometown
190
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,280
Baltimore, where she had been
crowned best Club DJ multiple
191
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,000
years in a.
Row Kia's.
192
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,120

00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,400
Just that.
Hosting a successful celebration

for family and friends at her
home and just a few.
197
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,080
Weeks later, she would take the
stage as the DJ for Artscape.
198
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,240

annual events.

that the legendary club queen.
Herself.
201
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,360
K Swift.
Oversaw the music.
202
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,360
She had planned another pool.
Party A.
203
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,280
Celebration of her showcase on
Sunday, July 20th, and it went
204
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:36,160
exactly as she had envisioned.
Kia welcomed friends to her home
205
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,240
on Arizona Ave. with open arms
and drinks flowing.
206
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,640
Music filled the air.
As they laughed and danced into
207
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,480
the night.
But sometime around 12:20 AM on
208
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,200
July 21st, an emergency call.
Shattered the peaceful.
209
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,000
Atmosphere Kia had suffered an
accident in the pool.
210
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,560
Despite the efforts.
Of EMS.
211
00:11:56,560 --> 00:11:59,680
Who arrived?
At 12:28 AM, she could not be
212
00:11:59,680 --> 00:12:04,200
saved.
DJK Swift Eggerton, just 29
213
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,000
years old.
Lost her life.
214
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,360
That fateful night.
It was reported that she dove
215
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,040
head first.
Off her deck into the pool and
216
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,080
struck her head on the wall,
causing a fatal neck injury.
217
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,560
There were others in the pool
with her, but they did not
218
00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:21,040
realize she never resurfaced
until it was.
219
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,240
Too late, they pulled her.
Out and laid her on the deck,
220
00:12:24,680 --> 00:12:27,480
but no one knew how to perform.
CPR or perhaps?
221
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,200
They were too intoxicated to
think clearly the police
222
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,800
initially.
Suspected foul play, but later
223
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,760
reports revealed that a.
Broken neck and alcohol in Kia's
224
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,320
system may have contributed.
To the tragedy.
225
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,640
Some still believe there is more
to this story.
226
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,520
While others accept it as a.
Tragic accident.
227
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,320
Her funeral was held at Morgan
State University, where
228
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,600

her short.
Life.
231
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,120
From chasing her dreams as a
young teen to making a name for
232
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,760
herself in Baltimore's music
scene even after her passing,
233
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,280
Kia's legacy lives on through
artists like.
234
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,920
TT, the artist who idolizes her
as the.
235
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:15,240

launching Club Queen Records.
239
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,360
In the year following her death,
Kia's family filed a lawsuit
240
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,720
against her former business
partners for fraud.
241
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,920
Her parents believe that their
daughter's name was being
242
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,320
exploited and that they were
being denied.
243
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,040
Rightful royalties, but despite
their efforts.
244
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,200
There have been no updates on
the case.
245
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,720

Maxi's marriage.
To super producer Soul Shock.
22
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:18,480
Born Carsten Shack was riddled
with rumors and drama and just
23
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,560
as Brownstone was reaching new
heights with chart topping hits.
24
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,680

Baltimore's club queen, her
passion for music began at a

00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,080
young age and she worked
tirelessly to climb the ranks in
30
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:48,240
the male dominated industry
amidst the bright lights and
31
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,720
rising fame.
Tragedy struck as the gifted.
32
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,840
DJ met her untimely demise in
the depths of her own pool.
33
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,200
The true.
Circumstances surrounding her
34
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,080
death remain shrouded in
mystery, leaving a heavyweight
35
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,400

welcome, dear friends, to no.
Tears for black girls.
40
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,680
Despite Maxi's unwavering
determination, Brownstone
41
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:30,160
continued to soar with their
1995 single Grapevine, reaching
42
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:35,520
#49 on Billboard's Hot 100 and
claiming the 6th spot on the Hot
43
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,400
RnB and Hip Hop Song chart.
They were highly.
44
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,800
Sought after for interviews and
performances.
45
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,080
But whispers of trouble.
Began to circulate when Mimi was
46
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,640
no longer seen by their.
Side.
47
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,800
Some murmured that she had
fallen I'll with.
48
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,440
Bronchitis, while others.
Hinted at internal strife within
49
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,840
the group, it was during this
time that Maxi and Nicki stepped
50
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,000
up in place of Mimi, just in
time for the release of their
51
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:08,440
second album Still Climbing in
May 1997, the hit single 5 Miles
52
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,160
From Empty.
Solidified the Lady's powerful
53
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:12,760
voices.
As an unstoppable.
54
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,640
Force.
But soon after, Maxi made a
55
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:18,680
fateful decision to.
Pursue a solo.
56
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,400
Career in an Instagram Live
session, Nikki.
57
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,840
Revealed that despite.
All of the changes within the
58
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,160
group, she never.
Doubted their future.
59
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,200
However, it was ultimately Maxi
who brought them together in the
60
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,560
1st place and her departure left
a void in their dynamic.
61
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:40,440
In 1997, amidst the release of
their second album, Brownstone
62
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,840
disbanded.
Maxie ventured across the seas
63
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,040
to London to continue her
musical pursuits, signing with
64
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,720
Mercury Records.

Your Eyes and This Is Where I
Want to Be gained moderate
66
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,840
success on UK charts but not
enough to secure the release of
67
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:03,360
her upcoming solo album.
She returned to LA in 2000 and
68
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,320
three 2004 and welcomed a son
with her husband, Soul Shock
69
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,240
while living a.
Quiet life as a devoted.
70
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,280
Wife and mother Maxi remained
close with Nikki.
71
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,959
After much reflection, she was
ready to reunite Brownstone in
72
00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:21,200
2007.
With new music in the works and
73
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,800
shows lined up, they officially
reunited.
74
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,240
By 2015, Brownstone was back on
track, and Maxie was.
75
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:31,840
Thrilled for what the future
held.
76
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,680
But on February 27th, she spent
the day at her 11 year old son's
77
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,480
soccer game before returning
home.
78
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,160
There are conflicting reports,
but it is unclear if Maxie's son
79
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,280
accompanied her.
Back to the house or if.
80
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:49,680
She was alone regardless.
It is said that she had a.
81
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,080
Few glasses of wine while
enjoying some downtime on her
82
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,520
back patio.
As the evening progressed, Maxi
83
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,320
got up from her seat to go
inside.
84
00:05:00,280 --> 00:05:01,680
Perhaps due to the?
Alcohol.
85
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,080
She stumbled and fell on the
threshold of her.
86
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,320
Patio door.
Tragically, she was.
87
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,800
Holding a glass of wine that
shattered upon impact, cutting
88
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,840
her throat in two different
places and severing Major.
89
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:17,800
Arteries.
There was a woman named Maxi.
90
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,040
Who left?
This world too soon.
91
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,280
The story.
Goes that she.
92
00:05:22,280 --> 00:05:25,960
Fell and sustained a head
injury, bleeding out alone until
93
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,880
her husband found her.
Hours later.
94
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,800
Rumors swirled, some saying she
took her own life in depression.
95
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,600
While others whispered.
Of the strange ways of her.
96
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:36,920
Soul shocked.
Husband.
97
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,360
It's unclear how the truth
emerged, perhaps through cameras
98
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,240
or skilled investigators.
But police ruled.
99
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,400
It an accident and her brother
rebuked the false claims spread
100
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,240
online.
Her passing shook not only
101
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:51,160
those.
Close to her.
102
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,400
But also fans and fellow artists
who admired her talent.
103
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,440
Brownstone, the group she
belonged to with Nikki and Mimi,
104
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:01,120
struggled.
After her death.
105
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,800
But eventually carried on with
music and performances.
106
00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:09,040
Nikki shared a precious memory
of Maxi's kindness towards her,
107
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,280
keeping it close alongside a
photo.
108
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:14,520
Of their trio.
Though gone from this world,
109
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,680
Maxi's voice lives on through
timeless songs still loved by
110
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,040
many.
And Speaking of love.
111
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,600
Whispers suggest soul shock.
May have been linked to both
112
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,800
Maxi and Tracy in the past and
present, though it could simply
113
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,400
be a collaboration.
As Tracy revives.
114
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,720
His music career only time will.
Tell if there's.
115
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,400
More than meets the eye between
these two musicians.
116
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,040
But for now, let us remember
Maxie.
117
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,920
'S fearless spirit.
And hold on to the memories we
118
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:45,600
have.
Of her.
119
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,520
In the heart of Maryland, there
lived a young soul with a love
120
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,040
for music that flowed through
her veins.
121
00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:00,720
Born on an autumn day in 1978,
Kia Danielle Edgerton was.
122
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,240
Cherished by her.
Parents and adored by her
123
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,360
younger sister.
Her father.
124
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,200
'S love for DJ ING sparked a
fire within her, and at only 11
125
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:14,040
years old, she knew her calling.
With determination and passion,
126
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,120
she honed her craft in secrecy
until she revealed her dreams to
127
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,760
her family at the age of 15.
Together they searched.
128
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,920
Pawn shops for her own set of DJ
equipment and soon she was
129
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,680
mixing and mastering beats like
a.
130
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,440
Pro.
By the time she reached 11th
131
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,760
grade, Kia had mastered.
The Art of.
132
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,800
Beat matching and scratching.
She would host.
133
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,840
Basement parties where friends
danced in the dark to her club
134
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,840
music.
Her talent did not go unnoticed
135
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,400
and soon she was booking gigs.
At local clubs.
136
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:50,840
Adopting the name DJK Swift,
inspired by female pioneers like
137
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,960
Coco Chanel.
Jazzy, Joyce.
138
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,040
And Spinderella Kia.
Believed she too.
139
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,560
Could make a mark in the
industry.
140
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,760
After.
Graduating high school in 1990.
141
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,000
Six, she briefly.
Attended Community.
142
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,080
College but her.
Love for D Jing pulled her away.
143
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,240
Her mother.
A dedicated educator.
144
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,640
May have been surprised by this
decision, but she believed in
145
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,560
Kia's ability to move people
through.
146
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:19,960
Music at just. 17 years old, Kia
landed an internship at a local
147
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:24,320
radio station and with hard work
and dedication, became the host
148
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,040
of her own show alongside DJ
Squirrel.
149
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,920
Wide.
In a short amount of time.
150
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,360
Kia proved.
That age and gender were no.
151
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,280
Barriers to success.
In a male dominated industry,
152
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,200
her natural talent and
unwavering work.
153
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,600
Ethic spoke for itself.
Kia K Swift.
154
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,720
Was more than just Baltimore's
club queen.
155
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:46,680
She was a shining star whose
light illuminated the.
156
00:08:46,680 --> 00:08:48,440
Hearts of all who heard her
beats.
157
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,320
And though she left.
This world too.
158
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,760
Soon, her legacy lives on
through her music and the
159
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:58,880
memories she left behind.
At the start of her career, Kia
160
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,360
was filled.
With a flutter of nerves, but
161
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,960
she possessed an inner strength.
That refused to allow failure.
162
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,680
She poured hours.
Into perfecting her transitions
163
00:09:08,680 --> 00:09:12,560
and mixing skills until hosting
became as natural as breathing.
164
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,320
Her show?
On the biggest urban station in
165
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,160
Baltimore commanded the
attention of 28,000 listeners
166
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,880
every 15 minutes.
The city crowned her the Queen
167
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:28,160
of the airwaves with her unique
blend of club mixes and Motown.
168
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,360
Hits DJK Swift.
Became a household name in the
169
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,640
nightlife scene.
When she spun at clubs like
170
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,760
Hammer, Jacks and Paradox, the
crowds overflowed with
171
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,800
excitement.
The pulsating beats in her mixes
172
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,800
were like a primal call,
beckoning people to get up and
173
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,080
move.
Her talent caught the attention
174
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,400
of MTV, and they turned to Kia
for an insider's look at
175
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,360
Baltimore's club scene.
In 2006, she was crowned There
176
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,760
it Girl and Club Queen of
Baltimore.
177
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,000
But beyond the glitz and
glamour, Kia was simply a woman
178
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,560
from B Moore, a humble soul who
never forgot where she came
179
00:10:05,560 --> 00:10:09,000
from.
She extended a helping hand to.
180
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,920
Fellow DJs Pork.
Chop and Kelson when they fell
181
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,080
on hard times.
As her success grew.
182
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,000
So did her personal journey.
She made the brave decision to.
183
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:24,160
Prioritize her health.
And lost an incredible 175 lbs.
184
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,360
But even as her looks
transformed, she remained true
185
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,200
to.
Herself, always.
186
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,920
Dressing in casual urban wear
and embracing her natural.
187
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:39,120
Beauty for Kia, it was always.
About her artistry and drive
188
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,160
not.
Just physical appearance.
189
00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:45,640
She stayed grounded in the love
and support of her hometown
190
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,280
Baltimore, where she had been
crowned best Club DJ multiple
191
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,000
years in a.
Row Kia's.
192
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,120
Spirit was infectious, fun
loving, loyal to her radio
193
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,000
family and always.
Ready to throw a great party?
194
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,480
And on one Memorial Day weekend
in 2008, she did.
195
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,400
Just that.
Hosting a successful celebration
196
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,520
for family and friends at her
home and just a few.
197
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,080
Weeks later, she would take the
stage as the DJ for Artscape.
198
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,240
One of Baltimore's most beloved
annual events.
199
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,920
The city was.
Alive with excitement knowing
200
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,120
that the legendary club queen.
Herself.
201
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,360
K Swift.
Oversaw the music.
202
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,360
She had planned another pool.
Party A.
203
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,280
Celebration of her showcase on
Sunday, July 20th, and it went
204
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:36,160
exactly as she had envisioned.
Kia welcomed friends to her home
205
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,240
on Arizona Ave. with open arms
and drinks flowing.
206
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,640
Music filled the air.
As they laughed and danced into
207
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,480
the night.
But sometime around 12:20 AM on
208
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,200
July 21st, an emergency call.
Shattered the peaceful.
209
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,000
Atmosphere Kia had suffered an
accident in the pool.
210
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,560
Despite the efforts.
Of EMS.
211
00:11:56,560 --> 00:11:59,680
Who arrived?
At 12:28 AM, she could not be
212
00:11:59,680 --> 00:12:04,200
saved.
DJK Swift Eggerton, just 29
213
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,000
years old.
Lost her life.
214
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,360
That fateful night.
It was reported that she dove
215
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,040
head first.
Off her deck into the pool and
216
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,080
struck her head on the wall,
causing a fatal neck injury.
217
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,560
There were others in the pool
with her, but they did not
218
00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:21,040
realize she never resurfaced
until it was.
219
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,240
Too late, they pulled her.
Out and laid her on the deck,
220
00:12:24,680 --> 00:12:27,480
but no one knew how to perform.
CPR or perhaps?
221
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,200
They were too intoxicated to
think clearly the police
222
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,800
initially.
Suspected foul play, but later
223
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,760
reports revealed that a.
Broken neck and alcohol in Kia's
224
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,320
system may have contributed.
To the tragedy.
225
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,640
Some still believe there is more
to this story.
226
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,520
While others accept it as a.
Tragic accident.
227
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,320
Her funeral was held at Morgan
State University, where
228
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,600
thousands gathered.
To pay their respects to the
229
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,440
beloved DJ K Swift.
She had accomplished so much in
230
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:57,320
her short.
Life.
231
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,120
From chasing her dreams as a
young teen to making a name for
232
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,760
herself in Baltimore's music
