At REDDS, our Riders aren’t just repping cups — they’re shaping the culture. This month, we’re featuring Isabella Backe — a Swedish-born DJ and dancer who’s made Sydney her stage and hasn’t missed a beat since.

She’s got moves, she’s got taste, and she knows how to light up a crowd. Let’s get into what makes her tick.

Known for her electrifying presence and impeccable style, Bella Backe knows how to keep the crowd moving. Let’s dive into what drives her passion and creativity.

You’re a dancer and a DJ — what came first, and how did one lead to the other?

I started dancing when I was two years old, so that definitely came first. However, I personally feel like I have been a music selector for a long time, even though I had no idea that it would lead me to being a DJ. After working as a dancer for so many years, it felt super natural to fall into the music scene.

 

How does dancing shape how you play? Do your feet pick the next track?

It surely makes my sets more energetic and engaging, as I always move when I play. It’s all about the feels, whatever movement comes out while I play is because I am in the moment.

 

Does your Swedish background sneak into your sets at all?

Not much to be honest. I am still exploring all kinds of music, cultures & countries which makes me go deeper and beyond in my sets.

 

Okay, real talk: what’s your dream set? Location, crowd, energy — go.

A stadium set where I can give a show mixed within music and dancing. Full production, dancers, visuals and an immersive experience. Energy on top, a crowd that is ready to dance. Having a bunch of friends and family there would be extra special. Just a proper good time!

 

Where do you see yourself playing in five years? Manifest it here.

I would love to be at the stage where I am travelling to different countries but one tick is definitely Coachella, as I then would be able to have the creative freedom with creating a show.

 

Do we have music coming soon??????

Oh yes! I have been spending a lot of time in the studio & I will be releasing my own music very soon.. Super exciting!!!

 

And the iconic REDDS question… what’s in your red cup?

I’m a sucker for a classic Redbull, haha.

 

Last one: who’s your dream party guest? One artist, any era.

Ouff good question.. There’s so many, but I would need someone that can bring on the good vibes and that would be Kaytranada.
