Hey there, I’m DJ Yang2, a Kuala Lumpur based Turntablist & Disc Jockey. My journey into music began with a love for rock genre that’s been with me since childhood. The dream to travel the world as a musician, performing on stages as member of a Band or as a DJ everywhere, has always been my ultimate goal. After high school, I decided to pursue my passion by studying music production at the International Music Of College (ICOM), graduating in 2011.

I want to interview Kimbra (singer). She’s my idol, she’s amazing. She’s like my spirit animal. I just think she’s so real. And Kimbra is like a huge mega pop star now but she’s been completely true to herself. She’s not afraid to be weird and express herself however she feels she needs to express. She’s very eccentric, I love her. She’s such an artist. I guess you can say I’m a bit like her! I know it may be hard but we should be true to ourselves and we shouldn’t be afraid of that. The other day I did a story on radio about the Hotdog Princess, a little 5 year old girl who instead of dressing up as a princess at her school, she wanted to be a hot dog, and turned up in a hot dog costume. I’m not kidding, kudos!
For me, the best thing about being a radio DJ was being able to connect with people…and with Capital Wave, through music especially. Radio is so personal…you’re with someone while they’re in their car, while they’re at work, before they go to bed. Someone called me on the show once and said they were going through some things but every time they’d hear my show they would feel better and that my music and my energy just had a positive impact on them. They said us announcers may not know it but it really does. That’s the reason I go to work everyday”.
