If you’re tired of boring chores while cleaning your home, a unique service from a Vermont DJ might just be what you need. DJ Cheetahtah, whose real name is Taraleigh Weathers, offers a fun twist on household tasks by bringing her DJ setup right into your living room for an hour of music while you clean.
Weathers, who is relatively new to the music scene, came up with the idea while performing at bars and clubs in Burlington. She wanted to make chores more enjoyable and less of a slog. “I’m all about making things a little more fun,” she said.
When DJ Cheetahtah arrives, she brings a full bag of gear, including turntables, mixers, and headphones. Whether you’re washing dishes, folding laundry, or tidying up, she’ll provide a lively soundtrack to keep you motivated.
One of her clients, Dov Michael Schiller, described the experience as delightful. He said, “This very creative, animated, colorful woman has arrived in our living room with this full DJ setup.” As she played upbeat tracks, Schiller found himself dancing and having a good time while tackling his chores.
Weathers also aims to help those who struggle with tasks due to conditions like ADHD. She explained that having someone there can make chores feel less overwhelming. This method, called “body doubling,” has proven effective for her and her friends. She shared a story about how she helped a friend tackle a month’s worth of laundry in just half an hour by being there for support.
Her passion for DJing blossomed after attending the Tulum DJ Academy. Now, she wants to share that joy with others in their homes. “I want to create spaces where you can dance your face off, sweat out your stress, and remember who you are,” she wrote on social media.
Despite facing some negative comments online, particularly from men, Weathers remains focused on her mission to bring joy through music. She encourages anyone who finds her style off-putting to simply move on. “If my sequins and lady parts offend you, there’s a whole internet out there,” she said.
DJ Cheetahtah is not just about the music; she’s about creating a fun and supportive environment for people to tackle their chores. With her colorful outfits and energetic performances, she’s turning mundane tasks into lively dance parties, one home at a time.
