Phoenix-based Dr.Drea (Drea Strickler) was born in Utah, raised in Central Mexico, and blossomed-forth from Arizona's Sonoran Desert. A seasoned crowd-pleaser, Drea engages her dance-floors with rich layers of deep, tech, classic, and future house music. Resoundingly, her sets are described as "a lil' deep, a lil' dark, a lil' weird, a lil' pretty". A classically-trained pianist & composer from a young age, Drea's ear favors complex arrangements with highly danceable rhythms.

Named as one of Phoenix' "Top Club DJs" by The Arizona Republic in 2012, Dr. Drea is also co-owner of Desert House Productions Inc. Most notably, Drea co-founded the long-running house music weekly "Retro Hi-Fi Sundays" at SideBar (w/ husband DK.Strickler & partner World Famous Rani "g").
