Veronica Vasicka was born in New York City to a Uruguayan mother and Czech father. At an early age, she had a passion for music and photography. She studied photography at the Rhode Island School of Design and later co-founded East Village Radio. Inspired by the music she gathered for her weekly 2-hour radio show, she launched the Minimal Wave label in 2005. Specializing in obscure electronic gems, she loves old New Wave, Italo, and House music. She aims to bring rare recordings to the public via Minimal Wave, as well as her sublabel Cititrax, which features newer bands and classic house reissues. She hosted a weekly radio show on East Village Radio every Sunday from 2003 to 2014, currently hosts a monthly show on NTS, and DJs bimonthly in various clubs around New York City and the world. She also records her own music under various pseudonyms and collaborations.
