How did it all begin?
I was born in a small beautiful town called Trat. I made my studies there and did an exchange program to the States for about a year. After high school I attended a university in Bangkok and got a Bachelor degree in Business from Assumption University.
I have been a DJ ever since I have graduated.
What is your connection to Bangkok?
I moved here when I was about 17 for school. I love it. Everyone falls in love with Bangkok. The lifestyle, food, parties and people. Bangkok has it all! It’s my second home.
You played in Nest Rooftop Lounge on Friday 21st of August. Tell us about that night?
Nest rooftop lounge is one of my favourite spots to spin in. I usually play Old school hip-hop, RnB, Funk and disco. The guests were dancing and just having fun.
The vibe there is just amazing. I see different faces every week. Meet new people all the time. That place is just never going to get old! The staff is amazing, they’re are like family to me now.
What do you feel you can bring to the Bangkok scene?
I’m trying to bring back the hip-hop scene here. I love hip-hop and RnB so much! Every time I get a chance, I feed my audience with the good old classic days vibe from my selections of music.
Do you have other plans to play in Bangkok or in Thailand?
I’m currently working at 2 places in Bangkok. Nest rooftop lounge every Friday and Sway every Saturday. I am open to work anywhere really, it’s not about where I work, it’s all about getting to do what I love.
What projects are you currently involved with?
I have started to organise parties. Recently, a friend and I just threw a 90s party and it was so much fun! A lot of people came, and I got really good feedback. I’m so happy that everyone had a blast that night. So if you’re looking for a party organiser, let me know!
What is the best thing you ever been involved with or done?
One of the best things I feel like I have ever done or been involved with, is spending my time with the right people who all helped in guiding me in the right direction.
How did you get to where you are today? What is your life philosophy?
I started off living a spoiled lifestyle, however I surrounded myself with the right people who have taught me to humble myself which led me to become a hard-working independent woman.
