    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.

    Model L’oreal Mok and Miss World Malaysia 2013 first runner-up has a huge love for sneakers!

    Who is L’oreal Mok?

    Hello! Thank you for having me on board! Well, let’s start off with the basic. My name is L’oreal and yes, that’s my real name given by my parents just in case you are wondering. I am a mass-communication graduate but working in a totally different field which is modeling. I love singing while driving and am an adrenaline junkie! Oh, did I mention that I am from Kuala Lumpur?

    How was the experience like participating in Miss World Malaysia 2013 and coming in first runner up?

    Oh my, the experience is inexpressible! During my days for Miss World Malaysia 2013, I met new friends, had to face different challenges everyday which helped me grow as a person. Staying with 20 girls under one roof, to be honest, I thought it will not be easy, I was in fact expecting cat fights (Laughs) but it never happened and some of us actually became really close even after the pageant.

    The First Runner-Up of Miss World Malaysia came in at a surprise. When they finally announced the top 2, I was in a state of shock and I remembered saying it to myself , “Oh my god, this is for real?” (Laughs). Well, even after being crowned, I still work very closely with the franchisee owner of Miss World Malaysia as an official catwalk instructor/choreographer.

    Have you always wanted to be a model when you were growing up as a child?

    No, I’ve never thought of being a model when I was younger because I used to be really chubby. But hey, I took up a bet and a chance at it when I was 20 and I’ve never looked back since.

    What do you enjoy most about being a model?

    It’s always different, challenging and never boring.

    What fashion accessories do you splurge on and save on?

    The only fashion accessories I splurge on are my sneakers, I really do love them, especially my Nikes. I know it’s not very girly-like, but I just love the way they look. I may have a sneaker fetish, I can’t stop collecting them.

    Save on? I’ll let you know again (laughs).

    Which song will you say best describes you?

    It really depends on how I am feeling because I like connecting my emotions with music. For now, my current favorite song “Gooey” by Glass Animals.

    Do you believe in destiny, fate or free will?

    I’ve always believed that the greatest gift in life is free will. The ability to make decisions and carve out your own path. Life is short, so make every moment yours to decide.

    If you had the chance to play a cartoon character, who will it be?

    I would love to play Bubbles from Power Puff Girls. Simply because I think my character is more like Buttercup which is more tomboy-ish. So I would like try something totally opposite and I think Bubbles is perfect because she’s a girly-girl.

    It’s a great pleasure to feature you on SimplySxy, L’oreal.One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    I define sexy as a state of mind, as long as you are comfortable and confident in your own skin, that’s SEXY.
