Who is Lady Dana?
Dana van Dreven also known as DJ Lady Dana, is a Dutch hardstyle and previously gabber DJ and producer.
Van Dreven was born in Amsterdam. She started playing gabber in 1993 and though it was never her intention to become a DJ, she did, and is now the most popular female DJ on the Dutch hard dance scene. She is often referred to as the "Queen of Harddance", and achieved the highest ranking spot as a hard dance DJ in the British Mixmag top 100, which she first entered at number fifty-five.
She suffered a hiatus starting in 2010, after a series of unfortunate medical conditions: She was first diagnosed with burnout after a series of anxiety episodes. After a year of recovery, she was discovered with a melanoma and had her lymph glands removed. After the operation, she had pain in her shoulder, as a result of a pinched nerve, and she was diagnosed with nerve damage, causing a constant pulsating pain her left arm. After two and a half years, she returned to the last Thunderdome festival, where her she performed a set using mostly just one arm.
