DREYA VBy all measures, MISS DRE was already making serious waves. A producer, DJ, and vocalist with a distinct voice and a steady stream of club-fueled releases, she’d already earned the kind of industry momentum that most rising artists chase for years. But now, as DREYA V, she’s not pivoting — she’s planting a flag. Drea Kaplan’s transformation from MISS DRE to DREYA V feels less like a rebrand and more like a sharpening of identity. The timing is telling. Coming off a year of high-profile festival slots — EDC Las Vegas, Project GLOW, Day Trip — and a viral remix of Tinashe’s “Nasty” that caught fire thanks to the likes of Dom Dolla and MEDUZA, Kaplan had clearly hit a professional stride. The name change marks a moment of self-definition. “This new era feels more of like an arrival than a departure,” she said, and it rings true. It’s not a new beginning — it’s the next logical step in a career that’s been on a rapid ascent. It’s easy to understand why DREYA V is being touted as one of the most exciting artists to watch in 2025. She’s got the triple-threat toolkit: a livewire stage presence, refined production instincts, and a voice that doesn’t just sit on the beat — it moves with intention. “Light The Fire,” her debut on MEDUZA’s Aeterna imprint, is a perfect showcase. It’s sultry, percussive, and full of fire — appropriately — with her vocals anchoring the track rather than floating above it. She doesn’t just ride the groove; she steers it.
