Deemz’s talent for curating the freshest gems, trappy 808s, and speaker-knocking kicks quickly elevated her status as a prominent figure in the Dutch hip-hop scene. Currently, Deemz is shifting her focus towards exploring the electronic music scene, experimenting with different genres, and discovering new, raw sounds. Her style can be described as a fusion of bass, garage, house, and grime, combined with experimental electronic sounds and Afro-diasporic influences. Despite this shift, she remains grounded in her musical roots, incorporating the sounds that have influenced her as a DJ.
