About

Katrella is a multifaceted artist and entrepreneur in the music industry whose diverse talents, skills, and creative ventures make her stand out from the crowd. She began her DJ career at the age of 19 in her hometown of Ottawa, Ontario, and has since performed at venues and events across the U.S., Canada, Europe, Asia, and beyond.

Born Katrina Karyofyllis, Katrella is a Canadian-born DJ and music producer who developed a passion for music at an early age. Entirely self-taught, she learned everything from playing the piano to producing electronic music that resonates with audiences worldwide. Rising quickly through the Ontario music scene, Katrella gained recognition under her moniker and was named Ottawa’s top DJ multiple years in a row by Faces Magazine. Her rapid ascent also caught the attention of major brands, leading to endorsement deals—including the “CRUZE-ING with Katrella” campaign in collaboration with Myers Orléans Chevrolet.

Her style of house music, with a focus on tech house, caught the attention of several world-renowned artists, leading her to tour all over the world from Canada to Thailand, playing music festivals with notable names such as Hardwell and Tiësto This success culminated in the release of her track “Find Our Way” in 2018, which rocketed up the charts to number one in several countries with millions of streams on platforms such as Spotify.

In 2017, Katrella made the move from Canada to Miami to be closer to the heart of house music. She landed a residency with one of Miami’s most well-known radio stations, Revolution 93.5. As a radio and performing DJ, she has emerged as one of dance music’s most influential tastemakers. Katrella also regularly returns to Canada to visit and play shows, staying connected to her roots.

Katrella has always strived for more and aims to bring the joy of music to as many people as possible. In 2020, she became an integral partner with Industry³ Miami, a nightlife and event production company located in the Magic City. Through her music, passion, and vision, she helped transform Industry³ into one of the leading event production companies in Miami, producing live music events attended by thousands of people. She was the driving force behind Industry Thursdays at Treehouse, where she hosted her own party every Thursday night.

No one can know what the future will bring, but with Katrella’s style of music and love for her work, we can only be sure that the future will be bright for this shining star.
