Gone are the mild and well-mannered [Disney Princesses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creativesoul) you knew, as artist Katia Oloy draws a series of [Disney rock and roll princesses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marvel-and-disney) who look ready to jump on stage and play song that will melt your face off.

Oloy's dream rock and roll Disney band depicts Ariel shredding it on guitar, Mulan on bass, Snow White on drums, Merida on vocals and Aurora (who seems to be channelling Esmeralda) on the tambourine. Katia's Disney Princess rock stars are filled with a beautiful sense of energy and vibrant colors that help you to imagine the music that such a band might play.

While they may not look exactly as you remember them, Oloy's Disney rock and roll Princesses manage to retain a lot of the visuals that make these characters so identifiable while still making them her own.
