TANJA LA CROIX
BIOGRAPHY 2015
The Swiss star DJ Tanja La Croix is the absolute darling of the international club scene. With excellent skills on the turntables and extraordinary charisma, the “Queen of House” has a truly head-turning effect on crowds from Lebanon via Dubai all the way to Moscow and Ibiza. La Croix is based at the most famous events all around the world: be it Blue Marlin or Space Opening in Ibiza, Nikki Beach in Marbella, the Red Bull Formula 1 After-Show Party in Valencia, in Jimmy'z in Monaco or on the roof of the White Club, Beirut. The artist from St. Gallen captivates both the jet set and the experts with her charm, professionalism and storming sets.
"I can't go one day without house music."
As the daughter of a drummer, Tanja was born to make beats. Even as a young girl, sound, stage and show time were all completely normal to her, and the first time she went out alone, she fell head over heels in love - with house. Having already built a superb reputation on the modelling scene, in 2004 this determined young woman began a second career as a DJ and producer based in Zürich, with the support of her mentor, DJ Antoine.
In 2010 Tanja La Croix landed the ultimate coup: she produced the official anthem of the "Street Parade". As an ambassador for the biggest techno party in the world, she mixed the "Street Parade" CD, which went straight in at no. 2 in the compilation charts. That year she produced the soundtrack "Star" for a Mercedes-Benz Switzerland testimonial, and became the face of the A-Class ad campaign. In 2011 she also won the prestigious "Swiss Nightlife Award", and is still regularly booked for events by major companies such as Calvin Klein, Basel World, IFA Switzerland and Mercedes-Benz Fashion Days.
At the same time, La Croix has also conquered the club world with releases such as "A Trip To Bikini Island", which confidently entered the Top 50 of the Swiss album charts back at the start of her career, and the compilation "House Kiss" from 2011. Her single "Hard to Handle" feat. Andy P. was remixed by DJ and producer Nicky Romero (who has worked with David Guetta, among others) and DJ duo Crazibiza took the opportunity to provide a remix of her track "It's Like That".
Her single "We Turn The World Around" (Subside rec.) clarifies that Tanja La Croix also has a fondness for radio singles. The inspiration of this song came through experiences of travelling around the world, not only from places like Ibiza, Monaco or Mykonos but specially from cities like Kosovo, Lebanon or Krasnoyarsk where despite their wars, religion or political differences they had within their country, when it came to partying together, ALL were holding side by side and no one was judging one another. “This is the message that I want to spread with this song, that we are all one world and one community,” explains La Croix. Her single "We Turn The World Around" had a good and increasing success internationally and was in the top 20 of the ITunes charts for 8 weeks in several countries.
With her new single " ALIVE " she wants to challenge and remind people to go through life more attentively and to be grateful for the important things and people in life.
For many, happiness is something like a terminal station, but it turns out to be an illusion. Happiness does not wait somewhere at the end of a path, it is a basic attitude towards life - independent of possession, appearance or recognition. You just have to become more attentive and recognize the beautiful things around you that always surround you and fight for your dreams.
