Elisa Amaral plays at ADE & Tomorrowland Brasil

​Elisa Amaral (41, Brazil) discovered DJing at the end of 2010, when she pressed the play button for a friend at a club and felt the indescribable power of commanding a dance floor. From that moment, she dedicated herself to mastering the art of DJing. Over the years, she has competed in three major Tomorrowland contests - Winter, Belgium, and Brazil - placing 5th, 3rd, and 2nd, and growing stronger with each challenge.

• "I initially joined because of the Tomorrowland contests. I had the dream of playing at the festival, and to my surprise, I discovered an incredible community of people behind it all, as well as courses and workshops that I made great use of." - Elisa Amaral (41, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)

Her dedication and growth caught the attention of industry experts, leading to performances at Tomorrowland Brasil, Amsterdam Dance Event, and an exclusive set for One World Radio. By achieving these milestones, Elisa has turned her long-held dreams into reality, while paving the way for a new generation of women in electronic music.

• “What impacted me the most wasn’t the contest results themselves, but what came afterward: being invited to perform at Tomorrowland even without winning. During my set, i saw so many DJ friends from the industry in the audience. Witnessing such strong support among women was deeply inspiring - it reminded me how important it is that we lift each other up.” - Elisa Amaral (41, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)
