From 1995 until 2005, Ana Paula hosted
one of the most popular radio shows in
Rio, at Jovem Pan Radio station. It
didn’t take long for her to find
great success as well as a legion of fans on the airwaves, drawing the attention
of notable music makers, such as DJ Meme with whom she established a privileged
work relationship. Her Sunday show was extremely popular, reaching over 1 million
listeners. With mainstream audiences becoming increasingly
acquainted with her sets, Ana Paula was invited to spin at some
of the hippest places in the city: Tiziano, The Bedroom, Skipper and
West Side Club where she became resident DJ for five years.
She was then introduced to the gay community in 2001 with an
appearance at Tea Dance at Bunker, an important reference in electronic music.

Music Festival, Creamfields, Privilege, White Party at Pacha and
the very famous X-Demente where she was resident DJ from
2003 to 2007. Spinning in the “Carioca” genre, Ana Paula helped this unique outdoor event at the foot of the Sugar Loaf become a great success among locals and tourists, while developing her musical style and regularly setting fire to the dance floor.
In 2007, Ana Paula became the resident DJ of The Week Nightclub’s new project, the Nova Pool Party. This Event became a hit in Sao Paulo thanks to Deejay Woman’s beats and charisma.
In early 2007, Ana Paula was invited by DJ Offer Nissim at

The energetic exchange between the two artists resulted in great sets,
incredible vibes, and a special acknowledgement in the liner notes of

at Toronto’s Sound Academy with Offer Nissim, followed days later
by an appearance at Montreal’s Stereo, and then a getaway
to the warm sands of Playa Del Carmen, Mexico
for the BPM Music Festival, where outdoor elements,
hot beats, and great energy combined to stir up
magic by the ocean side.
2011 will commence with a similar blitz of activity, with Ana Paula playing major cities such as Amsterdam, Rome and London in a row, just to kick off the year.
