Colombian Triple Threat Anaya Joins Forces with Aviella on New Single “By My Side”
Colombian DJ, singer/songwriter, producer, and classically trained violinist Anaya has spent over two decades crafting a sound that blends her classical roots with pop, Latin, and electronic dance music. Known for her imaginative performances that fuse electric violin, DJ sets, and live vocals, she has shared stages with icons like Rihanna and Kanye West, opened for Maluma’s European tour, collaborated with Lil Yachty, and performed at major festivals including EDC Mexico, Coca-Cola Flow, and Baja BeachFest. Her versatility has also made her a sports entertainment favorite, serving as the official DJ for the NFL’s Los Angeles Chargers and performing at global events such as Super Bowl 2023, Pro Bowl 2023, Formula 1 Mexico City 2024, and the PGA’s Waste Management Open 2025.
Anaya’s unique ability to transcend genres and captivate diverse audiences has led to brand partnerships with Cadillac and iHeartMedia, as well as DJ residencies at premier clubs like Zouk Las Vegas and E11even Miami, where she has shared the stage with David Guetta, Calvin Harris, Zedd, DJ Snake, and more. From her beginnings as a conservatory-trained violinist to her rise as an international DJ and producer, Anaya continues to define herself as a groundbreaking artist whose career is driven by innovation, cultural pride, and global appeal.
“I wrote this track in my hotel room in Philadelphia, inspired by the experience I went through as an artist at a point in my life when all things seemed to go left, but soon I realized that faith and light was always by my side. This song inspires you to feel uplifted, bright and dance. It was my intention to bring the violin in this track as a main character complimenting Aviella’s vocal, taking the violin outside of the typical background orchestral sound. This track holds a significant place in my career, as this is the first one I’ve written, composed and fully produced on my own, without co-producers. After many years of holding back I decided it was time to put all my talents out there and show the world how powerful I can be. I met Aviella a year ago during Miami Music Week at the EDM Awards. Beyond her incredible talent I saw her pure heart and became a fan. When I wrote By My Side, I knew it needed the right vocals to bring it to life. That is when Aviella came to my mind and I sent her a message proposing a collab for this song. Without compromise she wrote back saying she loved the track and was excited to get on it.” – Anaya
Coming off the momentum of her self-produced 2026 release Triple Threat, ANAYA. continues to carve out her own lane with a new collaboration alongside Aviella that feels tailor-made for sun-soaked festival stages and late-night dance floors. The track pulses with an infectious energy, blending emotional storytelling with high-impact production in a way that feels both intimate and expansive. It’s the kind of song that doesn’t just ask you to listen—it pulls you in, building from a spark of vulnerability into a full-bodied, euphoric release. There’s a sense of freedom embedded in every drop, capturing that fleeting but powerful moment when music becomes more than sound and transforms into something almost spiritual—an unspoken connection between rhythm, body, and feeling.
At its core, the song is deeply personal for ANAYA., marking a defining step forward in her artistic evolution. Written during a reflective moment in a Philadelphia hotel room, the track channels a period of uncertainty and emotional upheaval, ultimately reframing it into something hopeful and empowering. Her decision to place the violin front and center gives the song a unique identity, elevating it beyond standard dance production and turning the instrument into a voice of its own—one that weaves in and out of Aviella’s vocals like a conversation between two souls.
