Born in a tropical paradise called Guyana located at the Northern most point of South America Phoenix Olivia brings a sound rich in soul and bass.

Founder of Soldiers of the Underground, (a Vancouver collective of DJs and Producers) Phoenix Olivia has an insatiable love for music and the underground dance culture.

Growing up in a musical house has carved the diverse character of her sound today. With both feet firmly planted in the Light and the Dark, Phoenix is adept in both the ethereal style of Deep Driving Moody Progressive-Tech House as well as the dirty urban sound of  Reggae/Dancehall.

This diversity in sound can most likely be attributed to growing up in the West Indies where Reggae and Dancehall is king and eventually moving to Canada and discovering the electronic dance scene at the age of 19. Undoubtedly, Phoenix has made a noticeable mark in the dance movement of the North American West Coast.

Under her event production company Soldiers of the Underground Phoenix has showcased artists such as San Fransisco’s Bluetech, Adham Shaikh, Noah Pred, Kevin Shiu, Cary Chang, Jacob Cino, Dark Fader, Prince Sho, Bounty Hunta, Michael Red, Taal Mala, Max’ulis and Seattle’s Osiris Indriya to name a few.

In 2008 Phoenix decided to step away from throwing events and focus more on DJing and traveling.

Her sound is often compared to Sasha and James Holden with it’s dark, hypnotic flow of deep, chugging progressive and progressive breaks, while her sexy Dancehall sets can get even the thugs breakin’ loose on the dancefloor.

She has played for packed clubs and warehouses throughout Canada and the US and as far as East Africa and Cuba, but her vision for this year is to travel even more and expose her music more globally, while preserving the sound of the Global Underground.
