Raised in the vibrant urban heart of Lisbon, THELMA has forged a unique identity in contemporary electronic music, blending percussive rhythms, soulful vocals, and deep global grooves. A classically trained musician turned trailblazing DJ and producer, she draws on her Angolan roots and Portuguese upbringing, infusing her sets with the warmth of Afro-house, the pulse of global bass, and experimental electronica. THELMA’s journey began in underground Lisbon venues, quickly making waves with her genre-blurring sets that unite crowds through infectious energy and fearless track selection.

Her productions have gained international attention, featuring on influential playlists and collaborations with rising talents from Lusophone Africa to Brazil. At both intimate parties and major festivals across Europe, she’s celebrated for her dynamic presence and ability to transform any space into a vibrant dance floor. Driven by a commitment to community and artistic evolution, THELMA has co-founded inclusive club nights highlighting female and non-binary talent, while also curating radio shows that showcase innovative sounds from across the diaspora.

As both selector and storyteller, she stands at the forefront of a new wave of DJs, inviting listeners to move beyond borders and lose themselves in sound.
