Barbara Butch, in a few words...
Barbara Butch, Parisian DJ and producer, is a key figure of the French music scene. Since the early 2000s, she has stood out with her energetic and eclectic sets, blending house, disco, pop, and funk. Resident DJ at Rosa Bonheur in the Buttes Chaumont and curator of the Winter Party at the Montpellier Opera, she moves seamlessly between Parisian clubs and national stages, electrifying crowds wherever she goes.
She has lit up festivals such as Calvi on the Rocks and the Montreux Jazz Festival, as well as iconic venues like the Philharmonie de Paris and the Théâtre du Nord in Lille. In 2023, she released Noche Vita and the track Muy Lesbienne-two party anthems celebrating love and freedom. Whether in a nightclub or on a major festival stage, her unique style makes audiences dance and sing.
Barbara Butch is also a passionate advocate for love and inclusion, organizing festive and inclusive events where everyone can be themselves without fear of judgment. In 2024, she reached a new milestone in her career by performing at the historic opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games. From the Debilly footbridge overlooking the Seine, she delivered a masterful performance combining music, dance, drag queens, and performers, celebrating inclusivity and freedom. Joined by Philippe Katerine, Barbara embodied joy, unity, and acceptance, becoming a symbol of boundless love and celebration in this unforgettable moment.
During the lockdowns, she launched the virtual parties L'Appartchezmoi, bringing together over 1,000 people every Saturday night to celebrate joy and freedom. She also became a pop culture icon, serving as a muse for Jean Paul Gaultier and appearing on the cover of Télérama. As a member of the jury for Drag Race France on France TV, Barbara continues to affirm her place as a true activist for love.
