BADSISTA

BADSISTA is a boundary-pushing DJ, producer, and composer hailing from São Paulo, Brazil, renowned for her innovative approach to electronic music and powerful presence in the global club scene. Born Rafaela Andrade, she has carved a distinct niche merging the raw energy of baile funk, techno, house, vogue, and experimental electronic sounds, breaking barriers for women and LGBTQ+ artists within a traditionally male-dominated industry. BADSISTA’s career began in the underground party circuit, where her eclectic sets and instinct for bold, infectious rhythms caught the attention of dancers and tastemakers alike.

She is a co-founder of the influential feminist collective Bandida, and her collaborations with artists such as Linn da Quebrada have further cemented her status as a trailblazer in Brazilian music. Her productions and performances are marked by fierce social commentary and a deep sense of community, reflecting both the vibrancy and complexity of Brazil’s urban landscapes. Internationally recognized, BADSISTA continues to electrify audiences at major festivals and clubs across Europe and the Americas while consistently championing the voices and stories of marginalized communities through her art.
