Dana van Dreven (born July 8, 1974) also known as DJ Lady Dana, is a Dutch hardstyle and previously gabber DJ and producer.
Van Dreven was born in Amsterdam. She started playing gabber in 1993 and though it was never her intention to become a DJ, she did, and is now the most popular female DJ on the Dutch hard dance scene. She is often referred to as the "Queen of Harddance", and achieved the highest ranking spot as a hard dance DJ in the British Mixmag top 100, which she first entered at number fifty-five.
She suffered a hiatus starting in 2010, after a series of medical conditions: she was first diagnosed with burnout after a series of anxiety episodes. After a year of recovery, she was discovered with a melanoma and had her lymph glands removed. After the operation, she had pain in her shoulder, as a result of a pinched nerve, and she was diagnosed with nerve damage, causing a constant pulsating pain in her left arm. After two and a half years, she returned to the last Thunderdome festival, where she performed a set using mostly one arm.
She said I don’t recall
Seeing you around here
You must be new to this town
I said I’m just passing through
But girl, from the looks of you
I could see me settling down
Then she smiled and said the invitation’s open
Cos you look just like what I’ve been waiting on
So I said why don’t we take this matter somewhere else
And get to know this feeling that’s so strong
Lead on
She said I had a love once
But he just up and left me
I said I bet it broke your heart
I had a love once too
But I acted like a fool
Oh what I’d give to be back in her arms
Then she smiled and said the invitation’s open
Cos you look just like what I’ve been waiting on
So I said why don’t we take this matter somewhere else
And pick up right where everything went wrong
Lead on
She said I don’t recall
Seeing you around here
