Stepping onto Groove Cruise for the first time, Pretty Pink wasted no time exploring every level of the ship. “I’ve already seen it all,” she laughed, her excitement palpable. With a career spanning 14 years and counting, the German DJ and producer is no stranger to the thrill of discovery. And if she were captain of the ship, she would take everyone to Hawaii — “I’ve never been!”

When asked what three items she would take if stranded on an island, she responded with the essentials: USB, headphones, computer. Because, of course, the music never stops.

A Journey Built on Persistence & Passion

Pretty Pink’s rise wasn’t overnight—it was a steady climb. “I started playing music 14 years ago, but I wanted to produce my own,” she shared. “It was step by step. And in the last three years, things really took off—big festivals, big names.” Her secret? Consistency. “You have to always focus on your goals. There are a lot of steps, but staying persistent is key.”

That persistence led her to create her own label, Wonder Woods, before shifting to Deep Woods, a brand that represents her more fully. “Everything in the melodic house bubble,” she describes. The label isn’t just about her—it’s about supporting young artists, new producers, and fostering fresh talent.

Moments That Matter

For Pretty Pink, the most rewarding moments come when her fans connect with her music in unexpected ways. “90% of my sets are my own edits and songs, so when people sing along, it’s amazing,” she said. But one moment stood out: “In Mexico City, people were singing my lyrics—in German! That was incredible.”

When it comes to favorite places? She couldn’t pick just one.

“The US has amazing energy, but I also love the countryside. If I had to choose… okay, top five: Melbourne, Japan, and several cities in the US.”

Staying Balanced: An Athlete’s Edge

Long before she was commanding festival stages, Pretty Pink was an athlete—running medium distances and staying in peak condition. That discipline still fuels her today. “I do yoga, fitness, and gym workouts. It’s not just about staying fit—it’s how I balance the adrenaline of performing.”

And when she’s missing home? “FaceTiming my dog,” she grinned. A small, hypoallergenic Russian breed, her furry companion keeps her grounded no matter where in the world she’s playing.

Success & What’s Next

By her own definition, Pretty Pink has already achieved success. “I’m working in my hobby, and in this genre, that’s the best thing.” But that doesn’t mean she’s slowing down—her journey is far from over.

Her final words for fans? “Thanks for joining. I hope you come to an event some day and dance with me.”

With her unstoppable drive, melodic mastery, and deep connection to her audience, Pretty Pink isn’t just rising—she’s soaring.
