Following a highly successful 2025, which saw her touring the U.S. and co-producing the anthemic tech-house track “Baseline,” featuring a verse by rapper Snoop Dogg, and the groove-driven “More Than A Feeling,” Esther Anaya is back. Launching into the 2026 festival season, she has released her latest single, “Triple Threat,” which is already gaining significant traction.
“Triple Threat” marks her first fully self-produced track of the year, designed to showcase her vast musical capabilities. Esther wrote, produced, and performed the song herself, staying true to the title. The track is a high-energy bass house banger that highlights her identity as a DJ, violinist, and producer. Driven by punchy basslines, violin accents, and bold vocals, the song captures her signature fusion of live instrumentation and festival-ready electronic production.
Who Is Esther Anaya?
Esther Anaya is a Colombian-born, Los Angeles-based DJ, electric violinist, and producer. Her background is a unique blend of classical training and modern electronic production. These results have carried her far, with high-charting successes and years of live performances on some of the world’s biggest stages, from SoFi Stadium to global music festivals.
She started playing the violin as a child, pursued it through classical conservatories, and eventually found her passion for electronic music. Esther wanted to push boundaries, bringing an instrument traditionally associated with orchestras into the heart of clubs and festivals. She has now been at it for over 20 years, with “Triple Threat” serving as a culmination of her evolution.
As she describes it, “Triple threat is about owning who you are and embracing your talents, voice, and identity. It’s a song to remind you to take up space, disrupt the status quo, and not shrink to make others feel comfortable.”
Overcoming Obstacles
Breaking into a male-dominated industry as both a DJ and instrumentalist proved difficult for Esther, especially during the formative years of her career. Initially, many struggled to understand how her violin playing could effectively coalesce with the EDM-oriented musical landscape. Ultimately, she overcame these objections by letting her live performances speak for themselves, building energy in the moment and growing a dedicated community of fans.
Making Waves in the Music Industry
Esther has collaborated with some of the biggest artists in the industry, including supporting Rihanna and Kanye West, opening sets for Maluma’s European tour, and gracing major festival stages such as EDC Mexico, Coca-Cola Flow, and Baja BeachFest. For the past three seasons, she has also served as the official DJ for the NFL’s Los Angeles Chargers, leading to high-profile opportunities at the Super Bowl and F1-Mexico City. With “Triple Threat,” Esther is distilling the experience and success she has accumulated over the years into a single, wildly danceable track.
