Miluhska, the genre-defying DJ and producer with roots in Peru and Ecuador, is a rising force in the electronic music scene. Known for her ability to blend traditional Latin sounds with bold electronic experimentation, she’s breaking boundaries and redefining what it means to be a Latin DJ in today’s music industry. Miluhska’s creative approach reflects her multicultural upbringing and the vibrant Miami electronic scene that played a pivotal role in her artistic development. As part of our debut Electromagnéticos series, she sat down with Tigre Sounds at La Cueva de Tigre at Ace Props & Studios to discuss her evolution, inspirations, and the unique challenges of navigating her craft.
From growing up on Peruvian dishes like ceviche and lomo saltado to finding inspiration in Miami’s dynamic culture, Miluhska’s artistry is a reflection of her diverse influences. She recalls how her first visit to Miami’s iconic club Space in 2018 shifted her perspective on music and life, sparking a deep love for electronic beats. “I never looked back after that,” she says. Her passion for world music, paired with her natural ability to experiment with genres, makes her a standout artist in a field often dominated by conventions.
Miluhska’s latest single, La Musa, is an ethereal journey through hypnotic beats and Latin-inspired rhythms. With its evocative melodies and a deeply personal touch, La Musa is just one example of how Miluhska showcases her ability to blur genre lines and create a soundscape that’s as inspiring as it is captivating.
TIGRE SOUNDS: How did your journey into the electronic music scene begin, and what inspired you to fuse it with Latin rhythms?
MILUHSKA: My journey into electronic music began at a young age. Living in Miami exposed me to a massive electronic dance music scene. My first festival was Ultra in 2013, and then in 2018, I was introduced to Space. I was (and still am) a hip-hop lover, but after that experience, I never looked back and the rest is history.
TIGRE SOUNDS: What was that moment, that has been the most exciting part of your sonic evolution so far?
MILUHSKA: There’s so many exciting things that have happened in my music career. I do feel that this first season in Ibiza was a very exciting time. I got to play alongside icons that I look up to and my mom was there with me which made it so beautiful. But the most exciting thing is continuing to explore and discover myself while visualizing all the things that I can do and all the directions I could go in my career. That really excites me for the future.
TIGRE SOUNDS: What keeps you inspired to create new music?
MILUHSKA: I’m not always inspired, but discovering authentic new music or artists drives me. As a DJ, I’m constantly digging for something fresh. Tigre Sounds introduced me to a lot of world music, and that played a huge role in launching my singing career. As a DJ, I’m constantly digging for more music and looking for something authentic. It’s whenever I come across something truly authentic – that’s what inspires me the most.
TIGRE SOUNDS: What challenges have you faced as an emerging artist?
MILUHSKA: Putting together live shows has been my biggest challenge. Adding live performance elements to my art was no joke, but I love challenges. It’s been worth it, though—it’s pushed me creatively and technically. Performing with live music and musicians, other people and have to do everything myself in my hybrid shows hasn’t been easy but I’m grateful for it.
TIGRE SOUNDS: What would you like fans to take away when they look into your artistic evolution?
MILUHSKA: I want my fans to see my evolution. My entire career I’ve thrown myself into things scared as hell but never let fear dictate my path. My Instagram shows my journey, from my first video singing to now. It’s all about growth.
TIGRE SOUNDS: How does your background in Latin music influence the way you create electronic tracks?
MILUHSKA: It influences everything. I naturally speak in Spanglish, so when I approach making and writing music – electronic, R&B, you name it, it just comes naturally. I love freestyling and blending my cultures. I’m half Ecuadorian and half Peruvian, and growing up in Miami anchored me in my Latin American culture while giving me a global perspective.
TIGRE SOUNDS: What’s something new you’re exploring in your sound?
MILUHSKA: I feel that I’m just getting started. I’m diving deeper into my voice and songwriting. People know my fun side, but I’m also very vulnerable, and I want to share that, I want to share my story. I’d love to go on my first singing tour—not as a DJ, but as a vocalist. This is a musical environment that I still haven’t explored much and I’m so excited to do so.
TIGRE SOUNDS: Who is your dream collab?
MILUHSKA: A dream collab for me would definitely be Kid Cudi.
Miluhska’s journey is just beginning, and her boundless energy, creativity, and willingness to experiment promise an exciting future. Whether it’s pushing the limits of live shows, exploring her vocal abilities, or blending genres to create something entirely unique, Miluhska is an artist to watch. Look out for upcoming new music from this trailblazing Electromagnética on Tigre Sounds.
