BIO
"Blanka Barbara's unique act and emotional creations carry quite a large scope. She is not afraid to explore esoteric or introspective themes and the end result is always a compelling one." - ICONYC Noir
Coming from a classical composer’s background, Blanka puts musicality and enchanting storytelling through music first. Carefully steered sonic and emotional experiences are an integral part of her productions, live performances and DJ sets.
After a successful series of weekly livestreams on Twitch, Blanka Barbara has matured into becoming a much-wanted guest performer. She became resident DJ at 4AM Events, Stone Beats DJs, livestreamed for April2July at Bloop London, became a Proton Curator DJ and is also hosting her own radio show ‘Blanka Barbara Welcomes’ on Data Transmission Radio. Blanka Barbara livestreamed an intricate progressive set as part of the Women Strike (Strajk Kobiet) movement – ‘Strike Back’, a 24h stream in support of women rights in Poland – on 12-13 December 2020.

"Blanka Barbara has already carved out a growing reputation with a slew of releases on the likes of Duenia, Mango Alley, and her own Rabbit Records. As comfortable behind the decks as she is making music, her monthly "BBBoiler Welcomes" show on Data Transmission Radio has afforded her the opportunity to create a new platform to showcase her growing skillset as DJ, interviewer, and producer." - James Warren, Particles
