Ida began her career when she was 13 spinning vinyl at the youth center after school. It was for long only an hobby but after filling in for another DJ at the age of 18 she got a regular night at a club. Later she went to work at the Spy Bar,[1] one of the most famous clubs in Stockholm. In 2006 Ida relocated to Ibiza for the season and expanded DJing into learning how to produce. Back in Stockholm she was offered a residency at the infamous Cocktail club.
The first single she released was 'Disco Volante that came with a by now legendary remix of Sebastian Leger. It blew up in Belgium, Germany and Holland and like rings on the water an international career as a DJ had firmly grown its roots.
[2] The song was a hit in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany in the summer of 2007. In 2008, Sébastien Léger remixed the song.[3] This single was released in the spring of 2008. She has played at various large electronic music festivals.[4]
