Felicia Chen is a producer, vocalist, and performer originally from New Jersey, now rooted in Berlin’s experimental scene. Her musical path began in New York’s underground, where she blended club sounds with noise, rap, metal, and pop. As a DJ, she crafts eclectic and multilayered sets, while her live performances break away from club conventions, focusing instead on vocal and bodily expression.

“I definitely have a rebellious nature and this rabid monkey side that wants to run around and shout. Then there is this vulnerable and sad side, which I find really beautiful.”

Her debut album Purge (PTP, 2019) established her distinctive style: intense, emotionally charged, balancing between noise and lyricism. In the following years, she collaborated with The Bug (In Blue, Hyperdub 2020) and the American duo The Body (Orchards of a Futile Heaven, Thrill Jockey 2024), contributing her voice, atmosphere, and production sensibility to their sound. At the same time, she took part in Trance, a durational performance series by Tianzhuo Chen – 12-hour rituals blending music and body-based art.

“Being honest is a core part of who I am in all aspects of my life. I am and have always been incredibly bad at lying. I don’t like having a veil in front of me or having to play different roles. Being raw is what gets me off.”

Her performance at Avant Art Festival 2025 will mark Dis Fig’s first-ever appearance in Poland.
