Eliza Rose is proof of the magic within UK underground club culture. The Hackney-born vocalist, producer and DJ is responsible for worldwide smash ‘B.O.T.A (Baddest Of Them All)’, the track that saw her crowned as the first female DJ to reach Number One in 20 years. This success has been in the works ever since Eliza began working at Shoreditch’s Flashback Records aged 15, coming to circle East London’s clubs and festivals as a DJ. Inspired by vocal icons including Nina Simone and Amy Winehouse as well as golden age R&B such as Aaliyah and Destiny’s Child, plus the sketchy garage raves she started going to when underage, her love of vinyl found her amassing a collection of her own, digging for gems old and new that she knows will make the dancefloor go off. Now armed with a hybrid DJ-plus-vocals show that pays homage to queer culture’s importance in dance music, and new productions that she’s working on, Eliza is ready for the next chapter. With MOBO and Brit nominations, plaques, magazine covers and a world tour under her belt, she’s straddling both the underground and global superstardom.
