BIOGRAPHY
"Dana Lu is a Dominican-American DJ, producer, label owner, and emerging cultural leader in global dance music. Recognized for her high-energy performances and distinct sonic identity, she blends Afro-Latin rhythms, house, and contemporary street sounds into a style that is both forward-thinking and deeply rooted in diaspora culture. A standout presence in New York City’s nightlife and beyond, Dana has performed nationwide and internationally, bringing her sound to audiences across the U.S., the Caribbean, and Europe. Her resume includes major stages such as Brooklyn Mirage, Under the K Bridge, Governors Ball, Public Records, Elsewhere, Jolene Sound Room, and Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. She has completed a multi-city mini tour in the Dominican Republic, returning to her roots to showcase Afro-Latin dance culture on home soil, and has also performed in Switzerland, further expanding her global footprint. She is the 2021 Red Bull Culture Clash champion, a career-defining achievement that affirmed her status as one of the most dynamic DJs of her generation. Dana’s impact extends beyond the stage and into the global digital landscape. Her record “Come My Way” reached audiences worldwide and went viral in Indonesia, marking her first international breakout moment and demonstrating the global resonance of her sound. Her artistry has been highlighted by leading outlets including Serato, which spotlighted her cultural influence, and DJ Mag, which featured her in their “Get to Know” series as a rising force reshaping modern club culture. As the founder of Chalet 7 Records, Dana is committed to amplifying global club sounds and uplifting underrepresented voices in dance music. She is also the creator of Chalet 7, her signature event series celebrating the intersection of Afro-diasporic, Latin, and electronic sounds. Her production work includes the Girls Having Fun series (Vol. 1 & 2), a celebration of femme joy and dance-floor liberation, as well as Worldwide Link Up, a collaborative project featuring influential artists and producers across the diaspora. Her forthcoming era marks her evolution from crowd-favorite DJ to full-spectrum artist, creative director, and visionary. With new original music and international initiatives on the horizon, Dana Lu continues to shape the future of global dance culture not only as a DJ and producer, but as a community builder, curator, and movement architect."
