Julie Potash Slavin (DJ Hesta Prynn) Biography

Julie Potash Slavin, known professionally as DJ Hesta Prynn, is a New York City-based artist whose career encompasses hip-hop performance, DJing, and licensed clinical therapy. Slavin began her music career as a member of the all-female hip-hop group Northern State, which signed a major label deal and toured with The Roots. She adopted her stage name from Hester Prynne, the protagonist of "The Scarlet Letter." Northern State received critical attention from Rolling Stone and toured with artists such as Tegan and Sara. The group signed to Columbia Records and recorded with Chuck D, Pete Rock, and Adrock from Beastie Boys.

Following her time with Northern State, Slavin released solo projects including the EPs "Can We Go Wrong" and "We Could Fall in Love." Her work led to tour appearances with Jay-Z, 30 Seconds to Mars, and Gym Class Heroes. Transitioning into DJing, Slavin has performed globally for clients such as Spotify, Netflix, Google, Morgan Stanley, PWC, and Rolls Royce, as well as for private events for celebrities including Amy Schumer, Jimmy Fallon, and Questlove, who introduced her to mixing vinyl. Her presence extends to fashion campaigns, television commercials, and features in The New York Times and Page Six.

Slavin later pursued a master's in clinical therapy, obtaining New York State licensure as a marriage and family therapist. She developed Music Connection Therapy, a methodology that integrates neuroscience, emotional regulation, and behavior change with music as a central component. Slavin has led groups through Music Connection Therapy at international events, connecting songs with goals, affirmations, and targeted actions.

Her expertise in music and mental health has been recognized by CNN. Slavin regularly speaks at global leadership summits and other events, and has served as on-air talent for SiriusXM and iHeart Radio. She is the creator and host of "Music is Therapy," a live nightly radio show on Amazon Music, and the "Music Is Therapy" podcast on iHeart, where she interviews figures in entertainment, music, and wellness, including Questlove, Devi Brown, and Dan Savage. Each episode is paired with a curated playlist designed to support listeners' mental well-being.
