DJ Karaba

Music and movement have always defined Karaba's life. Karaba was born in Grenoble, France, and at the age of seven, moved to Montreal. As a child, Karaba enrolled in dance, which would become the next key step in her artistic journey and her first love. Describing herself as an immigrant all her life, Karaba moved to major music markets to pursue her dance studies, such as New York when she was 20, and then Los Angeles in 2014.

While in Los Angeles, Karaba danced for some of the biggest names in pop music such as Drake, Camilla Cabello, and Selena Gomez, and appeared in numerous music videos and award shows. When a major tour was canceled in 2016, Karaba felt powerless about the next step in her career. She then turned to DJing and music production, a thought that had been on her mind for some time. By enrolling in the DJ Scratch Academy in Los Angeles, she says she found a renewed artistic purpose.

DJ Karaba is currently working on her own project, an EP that will combine her love of creation and movement for music lovers, and her desire to master production. Nearly two years of working full-time on this project, Karaba claims it to be one of the most rewarding things she has ever done.

DJ Karaba's music is electric and captivating. There is no moment of pause or slowdown. Her intensity, her desire to see people dance and feel the music as she feels it, is ambitious and consuming. There is an unwavering joy in such devotion to sound and being enveloped by her passion.
