Dorina is a composer and DJ born on the US-Mexico border, now based in Los Angeles. Her music moves between Latin rhythms, electronic music, trip-hop and beyond, always in service of protest and celebration. Her debut single "Sueño Americano" fuses cumbia with rock and asks who really benefits when we blame our neighbors. "Break Free," her second single, is a dance floor anthem about dopamine, doomscrolling, and the radical act of putting your phone down. A debut album produced by Sejo Navajas at 4th Street Recording in Santa Monica is coming late 2026.

Dorina's career spans artist management, Google, pop culture journalism, and film scoring on the festival circuit. She hosts a radio show as DJ Bruja, exploring everything from new wave to trip-hop to soundtracks. She's interviewed Tom Morello and somehow ended up in the same documentary as John Carpenter. Like the Toltecas, her goal is to spread love and revolution through art, and free humans from the mitote.

"Dorina's magical touch as a composer comes naturally. She's a charm to work with and always elevates any project she's on. She brings a wanderlust of ingenuity and creativity that's refreshing and inspiring. I hope to keep working with her whenever our stars align." - Polaris Castillo, Filmmaker

"When I bring Dorina up to anyone, I say how much I love her and everyone jumps in to enthusiastically agree that she is indeed the baddest of the bunch and we all adore her. She was supposed to DJ for like an hour and ended up behind the booth the whole dang time. Hire Dorina to make music for your movies and to DJ." - Angel Melanson, Fangoria Magazine

"Dorina is easy to work with and enhanced my feature comedy. She has great musical instincts. She punctuated the funny parts that I had expected, and surprised me with  creative cues/melodies in moments I didn't see coming, to my delight. Dorina mixes top-notch talent with excellent professionalism." - Bin Lee, Filmmaker
