Filmed in Ibiza just hours after she lit up the decks, this NIGHTMAG Talks interview catches Eliza Rose exactly where she belongs: playful, grounded, and sharp as ever.

A true multi-hyphenate—DJ, vocalist, songwriter, and Defected Records mainstayEliza has carved out her own lane in UK club culture, blending underground spirit with chart-ready confidence. Her journey from local scenes to viral anthem status has turned her into one of the most distinctive and versatile artists of her generation.

In this conversation, she opens up about the whirlwind success and unexpected pressure of B.O.T.A. (Baddest of Them All), the reality behind those “uncommon B2Bs” on festival lineups, and the energy that comes from making music with artists like The Martinez Brothers and Calvin Harris. It’s a conversation about freedom—on the dancefloor, in the studio, and in life—as Eliza gears up to release the most exciting music of her career in the form of an album.
