[3] [4] Her name is a reference to the television sitcom Sabrina the Teenage Witch , inspired by a comment on YouTube. [5] [6] She released her debut album, Makin' Magick, in 2017. Her main musical influences include plunderphonics musicians and the 2010s UK outsider house scene. [1] [2]
DJ Sabrina collaborated with her sibling Salem on Makin' Magick, which led to Salem being credited as a member of a duo with Sabrina by some media outlets. [4] "[T]he bio has always mentioned Sabrina and Salem, but I like the idea of it being a mystery," the artist has stated. [7]
DJ Sabrina started making house music in 2014, influenced by the release of Caustic Window by Aphex Twin. [2] She was first exposed to the UK outsider house scene from DJ Seinfeld in 2016 through the music blog aggregator Hype Machine. [2] DJ Sabrina has cited albums such as the Avalanches' Since I Left You and Daft Punk's Homework as major influences. [2] [5] Starting with Enchanted, she began to incorporate elements of acid house into her music. [1] DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ often samples music and television shows from the late 1980s to the early 2000s. [1] [8] DJ Sabrina has stated that her album cover arts are inspired by pixel art of '90s video games. [9]

[3] [4] In April 2021, she released the single "Try Not to Be Afraid" in collaboration with musicians Delilah Brao, Luke Markinson, and Anyela Gómez, which was described as "highly nostalgic". [9] DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ has since released four further albums in 2021, 2022, and 2023.
