Malaysia DJ And Model Vera C

Hi DJ Vera, it’s a great pleasure to feature you on SimplySxy. Please share with us a little about yourself and where you’re from?

Hi, I am DJ Vera C from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I’ve been a DJ for five years and also the founder of Malaysia’s first female DJ group, Jewel Union. Being a DJ has always been my dream, music is my passion, something that I can’t leave without in my life.

How did your interest in being a DJ develop?

As I mentioned earlier, I love music and it has always been my dream to become a DJ however 5 years ago female DJ wasn’t as popular as now, most DJs are male, so I wanted to break the tradition as I want to prove that female DJs are also able to spin, so I formed the first Female DJ Group in Malaysia, and I named it Jewel Union. I was their manager as well as a Jewel Union member and that’s how I started my DJ career.

Who are your major influences?

Tiesto, he is also one of the reasons that I wanted to become a DJ, I still remember I went to a rave and when Tiesto spun everyone including me was crazy dancing, and since then I started to have interested to become a DJ.

You model as well and came in first runner up in the Miss World Malaysia. How is modeling different from being a DJ?

Well, being as a model is totally different from being a DJ. As a model you need to collaborate with a lot of people, such as designers, make up artists, hair stylists and etc, however you normally don’t have to worry about the crowd, you just need to do your best, present the best of yourself in front of the crowd. However being a DJ, you are the main core in the club, you need to see and feel the crowd, you need to know what they like, what type of songs will make them dance. You are the main control of everything in the club, how you spin is how you influence them, and most of the time you are on your own, you need to think how to hype the crowd up.

What keeps you motivated everyday?

Passion, I always tell myself not to lose passion, passion is what keeps me moving and push me getting better day by day. Always remember the reasons why I love being DJ and that motivates me everyday.

Do you have any other hobbies?

Other than music, I love diving too, I have been diving for 7 years, if I wasn’t a DJ I think I would become a diving instructor, *wink*

If you had the chance to collaborate with anyone past or present, who will it be?

It has always been my dream of spinning in IBIZA with tiesto.

Where will we be able to catch you in the coming months?

I will be spinning in velvet on next Thursday 17/3/2016, however if you miss that out you may catch me at Zion Club KL, gonna stay tuned, I will announce the date on my FB page, DJ Vera C.

Thank you for taking your time to answer our questions on SimplySxy, DJ Vera. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

SEXY to me is confident, a lot of people misunderstand about sexy by wearing less clothes, but to me the way you present yourself, a girl that puts her heels up and walk confidently, showing people that she knows herself well, she loves herself and appreciate her self-values, that’s what I call sexy.
