Disco Shrine

Last month, Disco Shrine released her latest single “Spray Tan.” It’s her third new song of the year, following “Heart Eyez” and “Boom Boom.” Rooted in EDM, her tracks blend bass heavy dance music with radio-friendly hooks.

Disco Shrine was raised in Los Angeles and is proud of her Persian heritage. She’s pushed her music in exciting new directions since 2018’s “Up in the Air.” Look for new music and shows from the musician and DJ soon.

Following the release of “Spray Tan,” we met up with Disco Shrine at her West LA home.

How would you describe your personal style?
My personal style is always evolving, but at the same time, it's kind of stayed the same from when I was a child. I do remember when I was really young my mom loved fashion. I think I definitely got it from her. She used to take us to thrift stores, and she had one particular thrift store on Ventura Boulevard in Studio City. It's not there anymore, but this old lady Claudia owned it. And she was this old lady with burnt crisp skin and long gray witchy hair. She would chain smoke in the store, and we would be there for hours. She'd be showing my mom the new vintage fur jackets she got, and new stuff that she knew my mom would love. And so I think I grew up playing dress up a lot. I would find things in my mom's closet, and just layer all of it on. Very maximalist. So I would say that's my style. The more jewelry the better, the more accessories the better, and high heels are a must for every outfit.

Which celebrities or singers were your fashion idols?
I mean Britney Spears obviously is my icon. I loved her fashion growing up. Gwen Stefani and No Doubt, I mean she's like still my icon right now. Madonna was my first ever concert. It was the Confessions on a Dance Floor Tour, so that was super inspiring to me.

Are you more into designer stuff or you prefer to go thrifting and find vintage pieces?
I say find a vintage designer piece while thrifting. I think thrifting is very fun because it's like treasure hunting. And they say women are like gatherers. And I take that job very seriously.

When you're performing or doing a DJ set how much do you dress for comfort versus looking cool?
I know I should say comfort is key, but I think looking cunty is key. So comfort comes second, but I will say I've learned the hard way that there does have to be a balance. When you're jumping around on stage, and I jump around so much for like an hour straight, you probably should put some insoles in your high heel boots. 

Which current celebrities inspire your style?
I feel like I'm constantly browsing through Pinterest and getting inspiration from photos and art. There are a lot that I can name, but Snitchery is one who I think is really cool. She's very expressive and exploratory with her makeup and her fashion.
