Biography

THE DJ SG, BANGKOK’s newest heavy-hitter within its lively nightclub scene, is no rookie by any means. Over the past 10 years THE DJ SG has moved audiences with his eclectic blend of hip hop, R&B, reggae, rock and electronic music. As a member of Los Angeles-based Thai/English rap group THAIKOON, THE DJ SG provides the essential beats vital to the group’s most successful performances. To add his credibility, THE DJ SG’s recent successes as a BANGKOK NIGHTCLUB DJ have led to membership into the BANGKOK INVADERS, one of the most revered DJ crews in all of Asia.

Despite his continued success, THE DJ SG remains grounded by his love for music, always searching for new and inventive ways to share his passion with the world. You can still find THE DJ SG putting in the same amount of hard work and attention to detail into his mixes today as he would have 10 years ago. Through it all THE DJ SG remains humble, at the mercy of the crowd and the ever-changing musical landscape.

Born and raised in the LOS ANGELES, California metropolitan, THE DJ SG began realizing his passion for music at an early age. THE DJ SG spent the years leading up to adolescence experimenting with mixing and recording music as a hobby using the only musical hardware available to him at the time – a dual-deck cassette player and recorder – in order to mimic the skilled disc jockeys that could be heard on LA’s hip hop radio outlets KPWR 106FM and KKBT 92.3FM – DJ HIDEO, DJ ENRIE, DJ VICE and the BAKA BOYZ to name a few. With an obsession to detail, THE DJ SG perfected the craft of creating mixes enough to gain small notoriety on school playgrounds and eventually moved onto live mixing with two 12-inch turntables.

In 2002, THE DJ SG began performing for private parties and various university events in SAN DIEGO. High-demand for his DJ services led to co-founding event entertainment company BLACKOUT ENTERTAINMENT in 2004 which frequently serviced private events across Southern California. His exceptional mixing later caught the attention of local nightclub promoters CLIMAXSD (a subdivision of CLIMAXGLOBAL) who were searching for new and upcoming talent onto their DJ roster. THE DJ SG was immediately placed on heavy rotation within their DJ lineup performing weekly in downtown San Diego’s world-famous GASLAMP DISTRICT.

Between 2004 and 2009, THE DJ SG performed many guest DJ sets, from HOLLYWOOD’s swanky nightclubs to the beachfront bars in San Diego and everywhere in-between, while holding several weekly residencies at legendary San Diego venues such as BAR DYNAMITE, AIR CONDITIONED LOUNGE, SIN NITECLUB and MOONDOGGIES. His work during that time includes having opened for the likes of platinum recording artists THREE 6 MAFIA and FAR*EAST MOVEMENT, as well as internationally-known DJs like DJ QUICKIE, DJ VIRMAN and DMC US Finalist DJ ROCKY ROCK (of the BLACK EYED PEAS).

In early 2009, newly-formed Thai-American Thai/English rap group THAIKOON formally invited THE DJ SG to be the group’s official DJ to open for Thai rock group CLASH at the world-famous KEY CLUB in Hollywood. Thaikoon, with THE DJ SG, would go on to be the first Thai act to perform in the legendary PALLADIUM in Hollywood, opening for the beloved Thai comedian NOTE UDOM. On tour, Thaikoon and THE DJ SG opened for popular Thai rap act THAITANIUM at some of the largest musical festivals and concerts in Thailand, including SEED SHOW, BLEND UNITED LASER CONCERT and PATTAYA MUSIC FESTIVAL. THE DJ SG also seized every opportunity while in Thailand to perform at some of Thailand’s hottest nightclubs, such as ROUTE 66, SLIM, Q BAR, BED SUPPERCLUB and FABRIQUE.

In 2010, THE DJ SG received personal invitation by the world-renowned DJAYBUDDAH and DJ ONO to join the BANGKOK INVADERS, Asia’s premiere DJ crew widely considered the best collection of party-rocking DJs in all of Asia.

It was not long before THE DJ SG found himself relocating to BANGKOK (2010), still entertaining crowds with his ferocious blend of dance and hip-hop. If he is not at the club, you can find him releasing mixtapes like BANGKOK INVADERS: WESTERN CONFERENCE, his collaborative efforts with fellow Bangkok Invader DJ TONY B, or with THAIKOON bandmate DENNIS THA MENACE on THE BANGKOK BULLY MIXTAPE.

 

With an ever-increasing demand for his services the future looks bright for THE DJ SG in 2011 and beyond. He is CURRENTLY a RESIDENT DJ at ROUTE 66, INCH CLUB, WELFARE CLUB, and CLUB NOVE.
