GUEST ARTIST BIO:

D’Asia is a Milwaukee-based producer and artist pushing the boundaries of modern music production. Blending influences from hip-hop, indie rock, alternative, and underground electronic music—alongside a deep love for TV and film soundtracks—they create work that is both emotionally immersive and rhythmically explosive.

Their sound thrives on contrast: hard-hitting drums layered with atmospheric textures, unexpected samples woven into cinematic soundscapes. Each track feels like its own world, pulling listeners between the dance floor and their inner thoughts.

Known for their dynamic presence in the live producer scene, D’Asia has competed in beat battles across Milwaukee, including placements as a runner-up in Big Beat MKE and Milwaukee Hip Hop Week’s Beat Battle alongside Grammy Award-winning producers 9th Wonder and Conductor Williams. Their music has also reached wider audiences through placements at Milwaukee Bucks games at Fiserv Forum and on the TV series How the Universe Works.

For D’Asia, production is about more than just beats—it’s about exploration. With a fearless approach to genre and a commitment to feeling over convention, they are carving out a lane that is both forward-thinking and deeply personal.
