Ornella is one of the most prominent figures of the new hard techno generation. Since emerging from the Portuguese underground scene, she has established an international reputation for her uncompromising energy, clear attitude and unmistakable sound. Her style fuses the raw intensity of Schranz and industrial music with a dramatic sensitivity. Her sets build tension, intensify the atmosphere, and culminate in explosive climaxes.

As a woman in a male-dominated scene, the Portuguese artist uses her presence as a statement: intensity knows no gender. Appearances at major events such as Verknipt, Summer Story, Fabrik Madrid and Blackworks New York have made her a well-known name on the international scene. She has also proved her unique style in the studio, with releases in the Beatport Top 100 and projects on labels such as ‘Vermillion Træx’ and ‘Tregambe’.

Through her series, ‘Ornella Invites’, she provides a platform for other artists, particularly women and those who are underrepresented, thus promoting diversity and female empowerment. Her journey demonstrates that toughness, authenticity and solidarity can coexist, inspiring a new generation to not only enter the dance floor, but also to shape it themselves.
