Today, we catch up with ROXIE to dive into her experiences so far, her creative perspective, and what it truly takes to build your own artistic vision.
Hi ROXIE, thanks for joining us, how are you?
Hi! Thanks for having me. I’m doing great and feeling very inspired at the moment. I’m excited to talk about my music, my journey, and what’s coming next.
Since launching your project, you’ve gone from teaching yourself how to produce in your studio, to taking over some of the most respected festival mainstages in the world. Looking back at the timeline of the last few years, what has been the single most definitive turning point in your career?
Honestly, I think the biggest turning point in my career is happening right now. Until recently, I was working as a sports coach while building my music project on the side. For years, I dedicated my days to my job and my evenings to music, producing tracks, learning, and performing whenever I could. A lot of people around me told me that music wasn’t a real career. But today, for the first time, I have the opportunity to fully commit to my passion and give 100% of my energy to my artistic project. So, when I look back at my journey, I don’t think the defining moment is behind me; I believe it’s happening now. This is the beginning of a new chapter, and I’m excited to see where it takes me.
Your signature sound is defined as Peak Time Electro House. How did you develop this specific musical identity, and what elements do you feel are essential in your tracks?
My sound developed naturally through the music I have always loved the most. I’ve always been drawn to the emotional and melodic side of EDM, but also to the energy of festival mainstages and those unforgettable moments when thousands of people connect through music. For me, Peak Time Electro House is EDM with a little more punch. It has an emotional and melodic side that I love, mixed with stronger drums, bigger drops, and the kind of energy that is made for peak-time moments on the dancefloor. When I’m producing music, I always look for the same balance: energy, emotion, and accessibility. I want my tracks to feel powerful enough for a festival stage, while still being melodic and memorable enough for people to connect with them instantly.
Your official music videos rely heavily on visual storytelling. If we turned off the audio completely, what would the visuals tell us about who you are as a person behind the music?
If you turned the audio off, you would probably see someone who loves being behind the camera just as much as being on stage. I’m a very creative person, and I enjoy telling stories through visuals as much as I do through music. My videos reflect my personality: determined, expressive, energetic, and always looking for new ways to connect with people.
Look back at your very first releases, if you could go back into the studio with the ROXIE of a few years ago, what is the number one piece of advice you would give her?
I would tell her not to wait for perfection. When you’re starting, it’s easy to spend too much time trying to make everything perfect before sharing it with the world. I’ve learned that growth comes from creating, releasing, and learning along the way.
If I could go back, I would tell myself to share my work more often, even when it doesn’t feel perfect. Every track, video, and project has taught me something new. At the end of the day, you learn by putting your art out into the world, not by keeping it in your hard drive.
This summer is packed with performances at the 20th anniversary of Les Plages Électroniques and your debut at Stereoparc. Once the mainstage lights turn off and the festival season ends, what is the very first thing you want to achieve in the next chapter of your story?
Once the festival season is over, my main goal is to fully dedicate myself to my music project.
For the first time in my life, I have the opportunity to give 100% of my time and energy to music, and I want to make the most of it. I want to keep improving my skills as a music producer, release more original music, and continue building a stronger connection with my audience. More than anything, I want to keep growing and see how far I can take this dream now that I’m fully committed to it. I feel like a new chapter is just beginning, and I’m excited to discover where it leads.
Looking at the long-term horizon, you are carving out a unique lane as a female producer who sings, writes, and commands full creative control. Five or ten years from now, when people talk about the signature ROXIE sound and brand, what is the ultimate legacy or impact you want to have left on the global Electronic music scene?
I hope people will remember me as an artist who stayed true to herself and created her own world.
More than anything, I want the ROXIE project to show that you don’t need to follow a traditional path to build something meaningful. I taught myself how to produce, I write my own lyrics, I perform, and I create my own artistic universe. I hope this inspires others to back their ideas and trust their own creativity. Ultimately, I want to prove that women can be producers, songwriters, DJs, and creative leaders all at once.
There are more and more women in Electronic Music today, but I think it’s important to keep breaking stereotypes and encouraging the next generation to believe that they belong in every part of this industry. Musically, I want people to associate ROXIE with energy, emotion, and unforgettable moments. If years from now my music still makes people dance, smile, and create memories together, that would be the greatest achievement I could ask for. At the end of the day, I don’t just want to leave behind songs, I want to leave behind positive energy, inspiration, and the message that anything is possible if you’re willing to work for it.
Moving onto your Hot Takes:
Hot Take #3: Two sentences with a take on what artists should pay attention to right now.
Being active on social media is more important than ever, but don’t lose yourself trying to follow every trend. Be yourself, stay authentic, and let people connect with the real person behind the artist.
Hot Take #4: Two sentences with a hot take related to creativity or gear.
You don’t need a dream studio to make a hit. The best ideas don’t come from expensive gear, they come from creativity, passion, and actually finishing your tracks.
Hot Take #5: Two sentences with a bold opinion on trends in the scene
Too many artists are trying to sound like what’s already working instead of creating something memorable. The next trend won’t come from people following trends, it will come from people being different.
As ROXIE enters her next chapter, sustaining full creative control and undivided focus, it is clear that her journey remains fueled by both passion and an authentic vision. With milestone performances at the 20th anniversary of Les Plages Électroniques and Stereoparc just ahead, she is well on her way to expanding her presence on the Electronic Music Scene. So, be sure to keep your eyes – and ears – tuned to ROXIE’s next steps by following her across social media to stay updated on her upcoming releases and festival sets.
