Her home in Lisbon, Portugal was the beginning of DANYKAS DJ music journey. Her parents were not only her mentors in life, but they were above anything else her mentors in music, sounds and vibrations. Her father and mother were both walking and breathing musical encyclopedias with a vast knowledge of Latin, African, Arabic and Portuguese music. Her tools were clearly provided early and resulted in a sound with a bold and distinctive personal signature that combines Tech House, Afro House, House Music, and many other rhythms that know no borders or limits.
Self-described as a wallflower, DANYKAS DJ launched her first EP “Dina De Brava” in May 2020 – composed by two tracks “Dina De Brava” and “Morna” – an homage to her vivacious and energetic mother, Dina.
DANYKAS DJ is currently living between Portugal and the UK. She has her own monthly radio program “DANYKAS DJ JOY TIME” at Rádio Quântica in Lisbon, Portugal and she is also the Label Manager at Seres Produções based in Luanda, Angola.
Who is DANYKAS DJ?
I am a lover of existence and essence. Art as a whole, and the possibility of being able to enjoy what it offers, make me an explorer of its contents, albeit timidly, because the unknown is also good. Also, a foodie person with great desire for chocolates and cheese!
Where is DANYKAS DJ from?
I was born and raised in Portugal, with Cape Verdean and Indian background. Currently drinking cup of teas and eating pasteis de nata when possible ahah (living between UK and Portugal).
What is DANYKAS DJ's community?
The community that I believe to be around me, translates into a curious community, just like me. In the existence of knowing or not knowing, the community embarks and lets themselves be carried away by boldness. I am happy to share space and get to know the arms of art lovers as a whole and music that I share without borders.
How does your work reflect who you are and where you're from?
The fact that I have family members who are very connected to music, have contact with the most varied musical genres and live this whole experience at home from a very early age, without a doubt, has shaped who I am as a DJ and producer. Along with that, I have a huge passion for medicine and science in general, and both are parameters that require exploration/discovery and dedication. I see people and music in the same sense, because with the same essence, I explore, take care and offer new experiences to generate symbiosis between them. Anything that you do in life that you really love, even from different fields, they will always connect.
