Paula Pedroza

Brazil born Paula Pedroza is a truly global house artist. Growing up in Brazil under the watchful eye of her uncle – also a DJ – Pedroza developed an appreciation for house music at an early age. As she began DJing professionally Pedroza watched her career and notoriety blossom, leading the Brazil beauty to shuttle between Brazil and New York, playing respected state-side clubs such as Pink Elephant and Sullivan Room. Eventually, Pedroza parlayed the international demand to a move, settling in New York to further her DJing. "I chose New York where some of the worlds best started and where house music was born to fulfill my desire to be a DJ," says Paula. Fulfill that desire is exactly what she did. The combination of Pedroza’s sultry looks with a refined selection of bass-driven tech-house and tribal influenced house led to early residencies in some of New York’s most highly regarded clubs including “BED” and nights "Dirty Disco" and "Moomia" in Soho. From there, she went on to play nearly every nightclub in New York’s upper echelon, including Pacha and Le Souk and eventually branched out to the rest of the east coast and beyond. Now back in Brazil pursuing an even further international reach, Pedroza’s DJ resume not only includes her close work with designers such as Valentino and Colcci, but a month-long tour in Tunisia, a plethora of Brazil tours (including her residency for Pacha brasil), and billing alongside industry heavyweights from Sebastian Ingrosso to Tocadisco to Booka Shade. Her building reputation skill-wise and as Pacha darling garnered industry attention and Pedroza was nominated “Best New Talent 2008” by DJ Mag Brazil. And she has just just been named the Best Upcoming DJ in 2009 by Cool Magazine. This internationally recognized award in brazil since the year 2000. Currently, she has completed her first EP, “ANJOS” release on Stripped UK and it's been supported by names like Sasha and John Digweed. Musically, there’s not much Paula can’t do, “I appreciate all forms of house music from deep bass driven progressive to funky groovin’ house. I love it all and there is always a little of everything in my sets, allowing me to play for all types of crowds." Fearless behind the decks and commanding with both her dirty beats and soothing charm, Pedroza is both performer and artist. “I love to play and I love to make people dance, it’s an addicting feeling to move people with music.” SOME CLUBS HIGHLIGHTS in Brasil PACHA Sao Paulo(SP), PACHA Buzios (RJ), PACHA Florianopolis (SC) RIO MUSIC CONFERENCE (RJ), SIRENA (SP) SPIRIT OF LONDON FESTIVAL (SP), El DIVINO (SC), MINISTRY OF SOUND tour (Recife), DANCE FOR LIFE tour (Recife), LOTUS (MT), MOROCCO (Maresias), MOKAI (SP), PRIVILEGE ( JF), LIONS (SP), CONFRARIA (SC) IPANEMA STEREO BEACH (RJ) HARI FESTIVAL(SC) SOME CLUBS HIGHLIGHTS in USA: PACHA (NY),SULLIVAN ROOM (NY), LE SOUK (NY), PINK ELEPHANT (NY) CAIN (NY), BED (NY), TURNTABLES ON THE HUDSON (NY), LA ZARZA(NY), EXIT (NY), MOKAI (Miami- FL), DREAM (Miami- FL), THE ESTATE (Boston-MA), MANTRA (Boston-MA), DRAGON (Boston-MA) DEKO LOUNGE (NJ), ARENA (NJ) XL LOUNGE (NJ) SOME EVENT HIGHLIGHTS: Oasis club (tunisia), Textilia Club (paraguay), El Blues (Ecuador) Pacha Buenos Aires
