Fans were leaning over the barricade, screaming as they were dancing shoulder to shoulder at the Puerta de Sol main stage. They could feel the synth shake throughout their arms, and the bass through their hearts. With a cigarette to her lips and iconic words on her shirt, ØTTA entered the stage. Madrid Pride was a celebration of originality and uniqueness, and ØTTA represented that essence of authenticity on stage, allowing crowds to be on the journey of performance with her.

Followed by photographer Vibora, the day of her Madrid Pride set was full of poolside drinks, prepping with friends, and commanding the crowd with her music. This Barcelona- based producer and DJ is dance music’s rising artist, and the public is eagerly watching. Leading the audience with her high-energy sound and DJ set, ØTTA embodied what it means to be an electric performer. Creating a euphoric atmosphere as she immediately followed the headliner, Tokischa, she was a standout at Madrid Pride. Naturally herself, she unapologetically dominated her set and left the audience for a post-show room service shoot at the Palacio De Los Duques Gran Melia; ØTTA  is the definition of doing it her way.

After stepping off her set to one of the biggest Pride crowds in the world,  ØTTA isn’t ready to rest just yet. Come September 18, her debut album PELE DE MAR will be released, full of sensual house, Latin rhythms, and bass-heavy grooves. Taking inspiration from her time living in London and Barcelona, this album encapsulates the layers of her life experiences that make ØTTA a one-of-a-kind performer. Her uniqueness, stage presence, and electrifying sound are what artists strive to have, while ØTTA can’t help but be such a natural performer who is completely authentic to herself. With a cigarette to her lips, she’ll have you screaming at the barricade in no time.
