Lady Woo will be your host for the evening, bringing her signature energy and style to Classic Cocktails. Get to know her in this exclusive Q & A!
Q: What makes hosting the Birmingham Public Library's Classic Cocktails event special for you?
A: Hosting this event allows me to engage with all who attend in my own way. It's always a joy to usher people into the comfort of enjoying themselves while I enjoy myself and having a party anywhere! I insist on being able to be free to be festive and partying in the library is just so dope to me!
Q: How would you describe the energy you're bringing to the mic that night?
A: I am The Good Time Guru and The Shenanigan Starter. My energy is always high enough to share with whoever is in the room, no matter what energy they bring! We're going to fellowship and have fun during the most festive week in the city!
Q: The Magic City Classic is all about tradition — what's a Classic moment you'll never forget?
A: My first Classic! I went to Alabama State...we were loading up to come home for the weekend and a lot of us had purchased tickets for our families. Halfway up 65, one of my homegirls realized that she had forgotten her tickets. They called me to say that they had to turn around and I heard everybody in the background going crazy! That taught us to double, and triple prepare for every aspect of Classic week moving forward.
Q: As someone known for your voice and vibe, how do you connect with a crowd?
A: I'm everyday people and that's how I treat my crowd like everyday people, my people! Me and my people always vibe!

Q: How would you describe your sound and vibe when you're doing a show?
A: Fun, interactive and positive energy. I love to dance and get getting out to interact with the crowd. So, I would describe my sound and vibe as fun and interactive with positive energy.
Q: What excites you most about spinning at Classic Cocktails?
A: I'm a millennial. So, I've had the best of both worlds in terms of music. I'm well versed in old school classics, but also still maintain an open mind and love for the new Tik Tok, fun and feel good new school.
Q: What's one track that never fails to turn the party up?
A: Nothing beats a good line dance. It doesn't matter which one. If I had to pick one at the current moment, it would definitely be “Boots on the Ground” by 803 Fresh featuring Fantasia.
Q: If the night had a theme song, what would it be?
A: “This is How We Do It” by Montell Jordan, because Classic Cocktails always shows Birmingham how to do it for the Tuesday night Magic City Classic Kick off.
