Chinese-born Lizzy Wang — nowadays residing in New Jersey — has paved the way for DJs from her home country. She was the first Chinese female DJ to perform at Ultra Music Festival, and her music is getting recognition in worldwide dance music charts far and wide, including America’s Billboard. Starting out in 2016 with her first gig in Shanghai, she quickly gained a reputation throughout the rest of Asia and now regularly tours across America and beyond.

Her US tour earlier this year included shows in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Her latest release ‘Feels So Right’, alongside vocalist Tom King, is an emotive peak-time track. She’s just released a new remix of her collaboration with Dutch producer Hedegaard featuring singer Brandon Beal, ‘The Ones We Lost’, which samples ‘Pretty Little Ditty’ from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Her music can also be found signed to Spinnin’ Records and Whet Records, and there’s plenty more to come.
