Based in Brussels, Swiss artist Sushiflow has no boundaries about her passion for music. Alongside her classical piano education, she has dedicated herself to the art of DJing. She excels at finding the gems that she delivers both in intimate places or in the temples of clubs. If her sets and live performances show an undeniable technical dexterity, Sushiflow is animated by the desire to create and share emotions, to transport her audience, during a warm-up as well as in the middle of the night. Hungry for diversity, the musical world of Sushiflow goes from early house, deep and minimal techno to alternative dance, new wave, nu-disco and much more. She is also a producer and a (fashion) sound designer, working for shows, films and choreographers. A sensitivity and love of sound that refuse to be stuck in a box and that is expressed in her own musical compositions.
