Leyla Loizides, known by her artist name Hera, is a house
DJ and producer originally from Mexico City, now based in
Vancouver. Growing up in Mexico City, she was immersed
in the local sounds of cumbia and reggaetón, later
expanding her influences to include dembow, guaracha,
and other Latin rhythms. As she got older, she developed
a deep love for electronic music, with a special passion
for house. Deeply inspired by ’90s Chicago house, she
also has a strong affinity for tribal house, acid house, and
minimal—genres that form the foundation of her sound.
As a dedicated crate digger and vinyl collector, she draws
inspiration from the past while continuously evolving her
sound and offering a fresh, modern approach. Whether
through song selection, mixing, or production, she pushes
the boundaries of electronic music in a way that reflects
the world’s ever-growing multicultural experience. Hera’s
love for music is inseparable from her yearning for equity
and freedom of expression. She’s particularly interested in
collaborating with people and performing in spaces that
encourage free expression for women and the LGBTQ+
community.
