DJANEMAG: Hello! We are happy to interview you. At first, tell us please how did you start Djing?
KAKA: I really liked music when I was little, but I didn’t know about DJ career at all. By chance, we went to a nightclub to celebrate my friend's birthday. At that time, I saw a female DJ on the stage. That was in 2008, it was very rare to see a female DJ. When I saw her use music to control the audience, I realized that there was a music-related career called "DJ". Since then I was determined to become a DJ. At that time, there were very few ways to learn how to be a DJ in China as there were no schools and no studios. I can only learn through apprenticeship, and my family did not support me. In short, the road to become a DJ was very tough.
DJANEMAG: When and where was your first experience for public?
KAKA: My first stage performance was in my hometown, Harbin on Christmas in 2008. There were a lot of people in the nightclub. Although I have already prepared the set in advance, I still felt very nervous. Even till today, I can still recall the nervous feeling I had at that time. After the show, I was very excited because I had finished my first performance!
DJANEMAG: What was the coolest club or festival you worked at ? Is there any festival or music event you dream to perform?
KAKA: The coolest one for me is ULTRA CHINA in Beijing this year because this is the stage I had dreamed for a long time. I performed on the main stage, so I felt very excited! This is a milestone in my DJ life. My bigger dream is to stand on the main stage of Tomorrowland and let more people hear my music! Hahaha!
DJANEMAG: What do you think about Djanemag ranking ? Does it influence your popularity ?
KAKA: To be honest, China Top List was announced last year, it felt a bit messy during the process, so I had some concerns about the authenticity of the list. However, the final result was fair. This makes me admire Djanemag so much, and I am very honored to be ranked in Djanemag! It makes more people to know me and recognize me.
DJANEMAG: What was the best party in your DJ life? Why did you remember it?
KAKA: I think the best party is Tomorrowland because it has more than a dozen stages of different musical styles. It lasts for six days, during two weeks, and it can hold more than 10 million people. That is really a very grand and deeply-cultural festival. All those who have been there will never forget. Hahaha!
DJANEMAG: We know you played at Panda Music Festival , tell us about the event.
KAKA: Panda Music Festival is an event in the aims of culture exchange and it provides an opportunity for foreign friends who are interested in Chinese culture to learn and experience our culture. I participated in this performance on behalf of China, so I prepared music with Chinese elements because I wanted to let more Australians know what Chinese culture is like. This is a great music festival. After this performance, I also succeeded in winning more fans in Australia.
DJANEMAG: You are one of the most popular Djs in China and becoming increasingly popular in the world ? What is a secret of your success ?
KAKA: I think this is related to participating in many Variety shows. I am featured on many popular shows. Someone joked that I contracted the DJ position of all Chinese variety shows. Haha. I think the reason why I was recognized by Variety shows is that I won the Pioneer Dj Contest. After I got the championship, opportunities started coming. In fact, I don't have any secrets, I just keep trying to do what I want to do!
DJANEMAG: What about your future plans and gigs? Maybe you are going to play at some cool event or festival? Where can we enjoy your show live?
KAKA: I have decided to control performance times recently, because I want to leave more time for making new music. Oh, by the way, the super cool event I’m going to play at is the awards ceremony of Djanemag in Bordeaux. I hope to see you there!
