Before electronic music she was listening many 70's and 80's music and big bands like The Doors, Led Zeppelin and Velvet Underground and also the punk sound and style of Billy Idol marked her teenage.Her first contact with electronic music was in 1997, at the age of eighteen, in a house music party,starting her real interest for electronic music that remained since and slowly growed.At that time, alternative and industrial electronic music marked her beginning in electronic world and names as Bjork, Prodigy, Chemical Brothers and Daft Punk became a reference to her.Her first trance party was with Good Mood in 2000, where got very impressed by an Anti dj set and specially amazed by such a new wonderful kind of parties.In 2002 she made what it would be her first live performance in a music of Pj Schruck, a german dj and producer of minimal electro. She played with him in the Op Art Café (the club that pioneered the electro scene in Lisbon) and in the journey's stage in the 2002 Boom Festival. At that time she had no thoughts of becoming a dj, even less a producer.Her travel in the psicadelic world was short and ended when she met Nonnus (Silicon Records founder, dj and producer). He was the one who showed her progressive trance and djing.In 2003 she begun her course as a dj electing progressive trance music her favorite sound. The first mixes she made were with Haldolium, Audiomatic, Sensifeel, Space Safari and Pixel!It was in 2004 that she played for the first time to audience. Since then she have been playing in several private parties around Portugal and clubs in Lisbon. She also played to the event producers Union Records and Quest for Goa. Her dj sets are marked by pumping basses, nice and sensual grooves and strong beats, flowing through progressive trance and influences of electro.
