In August 1998 Anneli found out that she could combine her passion for music with work and began playing at nightclubs in southeast of Sweden. The passion for music began growing around age 4 while playing the piano with her mum. Some years later she became a flutist and played classical music in orchestras, at the same time she became a big fan of Iron Maiden, Metallica and Bad Religion. But this changed in 1994 when she discovered the electronic dance music in an underground Goatrance-party! For her this sound was beautiful like the classical music, and since then trance (in one way or another) has been the preferred style.

Today she is a proud memeber of the legendary label PHANTASM RECORDS and plays "clubby" psychedelic trance with a lot of surprises, but she also plays electro house with a wide range, it depends on the organizer's demands and of course on the demands of the people on the dancefloor. This open-minded thinking is one of her strengths as a DJ. She always strives to find the perfect track for the instant moment on the dancefloor, not to please her own wishes, but for giving the dancing people what they want/need!

She believes that one part of the DJ's job is to communicate with the crowd and ask them what they want to listen to WITHOUT saying a single word! If there's a nice vibe on the dancefloor the DJ can feel the answers and at that moment he/she puts together a perfect set knowing that the crowd is going to love every track played... The connection is the key to be able to give an unforgettable experience through the carefully chosen tracks full of energy, surprises and originality. With a big smile on her lips her goal is to make the crowd dance with a big smile on their lips as well!

During these years she had more than 550 gigs in more than 20 countries and played together with some of the greatest artists and DJ's in the trancescene like Tiesto and Infected Mushroom. Memorable events are Arvikafestivalen and also the Mondaybar cruises from Sweden, which have been voted to be in the top 50 coolest clubs in the world by DJ Mag! Abroad she has been playing at Antiworld in London and festivals like the Fullmoon Festival in Germany, Burningman in the USA, with 45 000 people partying in the Nevada desert and Universo Paralello in Brazil where 10,000 people danced on the beach!
