Ana De Llor is a Lisbon-born, London-based bilingual artist crafting dark, sensual avant-pop that fuses Portuguese mysticism with London's queer club culture. With synaesthesia and a background in visual shaping her sound, she merges ancestral rhythms and word-of-mouth melodies from Beira Baixa's interior villages (where her family is from) with avant-garde electronics, creating immersive, cinematic worlds.
An artist for as long as she can remember, De Llor's journey took her from the solitude of her bedroom and empty resonant halls to international stages, where singing became her truest form of expression. Her inspiration flows from the collision of Portuguese folk traditions with her lived experience as a queer woman navigating the world - drawing from both deeply personal and universal encounters shaped by how society perceives her.
Kicking off 2026 at Eurosonic Noorderslag Festival, De Llor was handpicked by the festival as one of only four artists representing Portugal - a testament to her visceral live performances that are vulnerable yet explosive, with heavy beats and commanding vocals bridging Portuguese and British queer experiences. This same year, she was selected to perform at Westway Lab and at The Great Escape Festival, as well at Mêda+ further cementing her rising presence on the European circuit.
Beginning her releases in 2020, she launched her debut EP Not Your Holy Ghost in 2023, funded by the Drake Yolanda Award and gaining support from Spotify's EQUAL Global, BBC Radio 6, and NOTION. Incubated within London's underground queer scene, she's headlined Queer House Party and Camp Kindred Festival, and opened for Paris Paloma at KOKO.
A true visionary directing her entire visual world, and supported by PRS Foundation, De Llor is now preparing to release her most ambitious work yet - a bilingual album, releasing in 2026, honouring her community while reaching far beyond it, cementing her position as a bold new voice in European avant-pop.
