LYZZA - Born-and-raised Brazilian DJ/Producer/Vocalist LYZZA is taking over Amsterdam’s experimental club scene. She’s become a familiar face during radical and underground club nights as a DJ and has been seen doing shows with Mykki Blanco and on line-ups alongside names like Le1f, Princess Nokia and SOPHIE. From clubs in Amsterdam like Paradiso and NYX, LYZZA quickly paved her way to international clubs in Berlin, London, Madrid, Warsaw and Shanghai. With live sets on platforms such as Red Light Radio, The DeadHype and Boiler Room it’s more than obvious LYZZA is a force to be reckoned with Ever since deciding to take making music seriously somewhere in 2016 and teaching herself to use Logic with online tutorials, LYZZA has been building a name for herself on the alternative club scene.

On the other, it’s because of a reputation she’s growing as someone who speaks their mind and is here to change things by showing people that there are ways to do things outside of the status quo if you’re willing to try hard enough - Radar Radio Released in November through LA-Based label SYMBOLS, known for being ran by Burning Man resident Kastle and having released music from artists such as Santa Muerte and WWWINGS; her new and widely acclaimed Powerplay EP is the latest step in a burgeoning career.
