Early Life and Education

Taťána Štěrbová was born on October 7, 1976, in Uherské Hradiště, Czechoslovakia, to parents whose names are not publicly known.

She might have had siblings but details about them are unknown.

In 1980, at age four, her family emigrated to Switzerland, settling in the canton of Aargau.

Growing up bilingual, she trained classically in piano, flute, and guitar from childhood and attended dance school (ballet and jazz), which later shaped her energetic stage presence.

After finishing compulsory school, she initially trained as a hairdresser before the rapidly growing Swiss trance scene pulled her fully into music at age 19.

She is of Swiss ethnicity, though her religion is unknown.

Career

Tatana launched her DJ career in 1996 at Club Mad in Lausanne and quickly became Switzerland’s most booked female DJ.

Her first single “More Than Words” (1998) under the Energetic Records label marked the beginning of a string of trance classics including “End of Time,” “Words,” and the iconic “Spring Breeze” (2003).

From 2002–2006 she released the groundbreaking Street Parade, Energy, and Goliath compilations, many of which went gold and platinum.

In 2004 she made history as the first female DJ to top the Swiss album charts with Greatest Hits.

She headlined every major Swiss rave (Street Parade, Energy, Goliath) and performed across Europe, Asia, and South America.

At her commercial peak (2004–2010), Tatana released three artist albums (Wildlife, Peace, Elektrana), won the Swiss Dance Award multiple times, and collaborated with international stars like Tyas & Dennis Sheperd.

She hosted her own radio show on Radio 105 and ran the successful Sirup Music label together with DJ Antoine and Mad Mark.

After 2011 she consciously stepped back from the spotlight to focus on family, returning in 2021 with a darker, melodic techno sound under the “Tatana” banner, releasing tracks like “Restart” and “You Can’t Stop Me” on labels such as Kontor and Future Sequence.

At 49, Tatana balances selective club gigs and festival appearances with motherhood and her role as a trance legend.

She performs at major retro events (Street Parade Classics, 90s Energy), mentors young Swiss producers, and releases melodic techno/progressive house on her own imprint.

Her 2024 single “Euphoria” and regular bookings at Nature One and Goliath prove she remains a beloved figure in the scene, now blending nostalgia with modern underground credibility.
