Esther Anaya: Colombian DJ, artist, producer and classically-trained violinist

Esther Anaya is Colombian DJ, singer-songwriter, music producer, and a classically-trained violinist. She chatted with #Powerjournalist Markos Papadatos about her new single “Fantasy” and being a part of the digital age.

Regarding her new single “Fantasy,” she exclusively told Hollywood Hills Magazine, “‘Fantasy’ is the moment you stop doubting yourself and step into who you’re meant to be. It’s that rush of clarity where everything clicks. It's your power, your purpose, your voice.”

On her music and songwriting inspirations, she said, “I’m inspired by real life situations experienced by both me and the people close to me. the highs and lows, love, challenges and resilience.”

“I’ve gone through a lot of growth, and music has always been my way of processing and expressing myself. I’m also motivated to give my best while on stage by the exchange of energy with the crowd,” she elaborated.

“With so much occurring in the impact of life, it’s my goal to give my audience music that lifts them up and makes them feel liberated,” she added.

On being a part of the digital age, she said, “It’s powerful. We’re living in a time where you don’t need permission to create, express, or share your art.”

“You can reach someone on the other side of the world with one song. That said, it also means you have to stay grounded in who you are,” she observed.

“The digital world moves fast, but staying authentic is what makes the connection real,” she added.

Regarding her future plans, she shared, “This is just the beginning. I’m focused on releasing more music that defines my sound and identity, embodiment of music that’s euphoric, emotional, powerful.”

“I’m building toward headlining major festivals, touring globally, and creating experiences that are as visual and emotional as they are musical,” she said.

“Of course, continuing to grow my charity, ASAF Angels, to bring music therapy and hope to kids in underprivileged communities around the world,” she added.

For young and aspiring artists, she said, “Don’t wait for the ‘perfect moment,’ it doesn’t exist.”

“Start where you are, with what you have, and stay consistent. Protect your vision, trust your uniqueness, and surround yourself with people who support your growth. Your journey is yours. Honor it,” she elaborated.

On her definition of the word success, Anaya said, “Success, to me, is impact. It’s knowing that my music touches people, inspires them, or helps them through something.”

“It’s being aligned with my purpose, living authentically, and giving back. The stages and recognition are beautiful, but the emotional connection is the real success. That is what builds legacies,” she explained.

For her fans, she said, “Thank you for growing with me. ‘Fantasy’ is just the first step into a new world of sound and emotion that I’ve been building from my heart.”

“I hope when you listen, you feel uplifted, understood, and unstoppable. We’re entering a new era, and I’m so grateful you’re here with me,” she concluded.
