About
DJ PROFANA is a multi-artist who blends music, theater, and cultural production into powerful experiences of identity and celebration. Beginning her journey in 2014, she has built a career that moves seamlessly between clubs, festivals, and cultural projects, bringing to the dancefloor a sound research deeply rooted in Black representation and the energy that connects both urban and peripheral territories.
More than a DJ, Profana is a cultural connector. She has created festivals, artistic productions, and documentaries that affirm art as a tool for transformation and collective power.

Dancefloor energy: sets crafted for clubs, festivals, and cultural events, delivering intensity and real connection with the audience.
Expanded artistic experience: her background in theater, festival production, and cultural curation translates into a unique artistic performance.
