Drea Kaplan has been passionate about music for as long as she can remember. What began as a love for singing back in elementary school has evolved into a lifelong obsession with every aspect of music. Evolving into a triple-threat DJ, producer and vocalist, Kaplan is formally reintroducing herself to the world as DREYA V.

The artist formally known as MISS DRE earned a spot on Dancing Astronaut‘s Artists to Watch in 2025 list thanks to a standout discography that includes tracks like “Lucy,” a touring schedule that included dates at EDC Las Vegas, Project GLOW and Day Trip among others, and distinct vocals that grace nearly every track she puts out. She made waves on the club and festival circuit last year with her viral remix of Tinashe’s “Nasty,” which received support from Dom Dolla, Mau P, and MEDUZA among others.

Her ascendent trajectory speaks for itself, bolstered by releases on labels such as Gorgon City’s Realm Records and MEDUZA’s Aeterna. Now, she’s stepping confidently into a new chapter as DREYA V. “This new era feels more of like an arrival than a departure,” she says, while also adding that she’s “so excited to share it with you guys!”

DREYA V has already established herself as one of dance music’s brightest rising talents. This year alone, she’s released “Light The Fire” — her debut single on Aeterna — and graced stages like The Concourse Project in Austin. With her eyes firmly on the future, DREYA V is undoubtedly poised to continue making noise in the dance music community.
