DornikaDE

Iranian-American artist Dornika has become an icon in Berlin's vibrant queer underground scene. Her revolutionary anthems such as "I like boys in a miniskirt" and "Nobody f*ing owns my body" empower listeners to break free from societal norms surrounding gender, race, sex, and beauty. Her sound bridges experimental electronica, hyperpop, and bass-heavy club tracks, bringing a punk spirit to the dance floor. As a multidisciplinary artist, she works as a singer-songwriter, rapper, producer, activist, fashion designer, model, performance artist, and award-winning director. Following her debut during the pandemic, she has played over 100 shows across Europe, headlining Pride events in Berlin, Munich, Copenhagen, Prague, and Rotterdam. Dornika has collaborated with major platforms like Spotify and Netflix, and play top festivals such as Lollapalooza, Fusion, and Whole Festival.
