When DEATHPIXIE stepped onto Red Rocks, or rather towered above it, electronic music experienced something unprecedented. As the first virtual DJ to ever “perform” at the amphitheatre, she delivered a spectacle that challenged the definition of live performance while captivating thousands of fans between deadmau5’s sets across two nights.
Her set unfolded like a graphic novel brought to life. A towering 40-foot avatar went super-saiyan against the rock formations, while dancers with swords moved in tightly choreographed arcs, and a live performance from Skylar Grey expanded DEATHPIXIE’s world into something tangible. It was less about a DJ on decks and more about a cohesive visual mythology designed to fill the entire venue.
DEATHPIXIE’s popularity has risen sharply, fueled by more than 250,000 monthly listeners, viral clips spreading past 10 million views, and collaborations with major artists like OddKidOut and Meryll. Her musical identity, dark, cinematic, and charged with emotional tension, translates naturally into a digital persona built for storytelling as much as sound.
While virtual performers are not new, DEATHPIXIE brings a distinctly modern EDM sensibility. She exists at the intersection of animation, production, and narrative-driven visuals, but with a sonic aesthetic rooted in the current rave landscape rather than pop or idol culture. As a result, she feels less like an animated character and more like an unconventional headliner.
The project signals a shift in how audiences may experience electronic music. This entire Red Rocks set was pre-produced, yet its impact was undeniable. It is a reminder that performance can be reimagined through design, scale, and emotional world-building. The question is not whether DEATHPIXIE is “live” by traditional standards, but whether the connection she creates feels real to those in the crowd.
With new music, a growing visual universe, and expanded 2026 live concepts underway, DEATHPIXIE stands at the beginning of a movement. Her Red Rocks debut was not a conclusion; it was a catalyst, one poised to redefine how digital artists shape the next decade of electronic music.

Raised in upstate New York, I was always a big fan of music but never really listened to electronic music. Within the first month of attending Florida State University and meeting some new friends, I was introduced to the rave scene. After seeing Ekali at my first show, I was instantly hooked. Since then, I have dived into every subgenre of electronic music, picked up DJing, and mixed for clubs and different entertainment events in Tallahassee. Once graduating with degrees in marketing and hospitality, I was hired for a sales position. However, I recently decided to leave my sales job to pursue my dream of working in the music industry. Currently, I run Magnetic Magazine's Melodic Techno Charts, along with my role as a PR and marketing specialist for different artists and labels. Some of my favorite artists are REZZ, Kyle Watson, TOBEHONEST, San Pacho, Josh Baker, HUGEL, ARTBAT, Vintage Culture, Ganja White Night, CamelPhat, Green Velvet, Jungle, Milky Chance, Paco Versailles, Franc Moody, and RÜFUS DU SOL. My favorite festivals are Hulaween (by far), EDC Orlando, and all the different venues during Miami Music Week. Outside of music, I love sports (especially hockey, soccer, tennis, basketball, and spike ball), going to the movies, working out, sushi, Chick-fil-A, food in general, and hanging with my dog Maui and my cat Loki. Feel free to reach out to me via my email or on IG, I love expanding my network of friends and business opportunities!
