Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
Hey, I'm CARLA ELEKTRA from Brazil, was born at Curitiba and since I was young, I've been working as a model and an actress but also composing a few songs just for fun. When I turned 18, went to São Paulo to continue my carreer on modeling and discovered my passion for music, hosting a few electronic nightclubs at São Paulo, like D-Edge, Flexx and Club Gloria. Started playing for friends at small parties first, then, since 2009, I have performed my Live Vocal + Dj Set of House & Electro at clubs like Hot Hot, The Society, D-Edge (Paradise After-hours), Aloca, Sonique, SoGo, Torre and James. In 2013, I participated the DJ Challenge by Aimec, staying among finalists and at the last stage, the best on the category: Creativity. Nowadays, I'm playing as a resident DJ in Vox Bar, at Curitiba, my homeland, also composing a little in my free time and music producing.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
I grew up hearing to 80's and 90's songs but I have a thing for the 60's. I've always liked the 80's electro, the crazy moog sounds from the 60's and 70's, the dirty and happy house from Chicago….but over the past few months, I've been working on a groovier style, with a lot of Bass, SoulFunk, Break, Afro and Latin Beats.
