DJ Angie Vu Ha Exclusive Interview for EDMDroid Asia

1. Please tell us and our readers more about the nightlife in France right now in times of Covid.

Clubs, bars… were only allowed to open since July 10 after almost 16 months, since the French government announced the closure of nightclubs, bars and restaurants on March 14, 2020. So nightlife is happening, but the sector still faces restrictions. Indoor venues are only allowed to open at 75% of their normal capacity and can only accept people with a valid “health passport” – a QR code or certificate proving that the holder has either recently recovered from Covid-19, is fully vaccinated or has had a negative Covid-19 test in the last 48 hours.

So even it’s chaotic to going out, a lot of people are very excited to be able to party again, clubs are crowded and fun as usual. There are long lines outside whichever clubs that open, and everyone is happy to have a social nightlife again.

2. How long have you been DJing & Producing and what can we expect next from Angie Vu Ha?

I started out as a DJ in Singapore in 2011, so it’s been 10 years. I moved to New York City in 2013 to learn producing, mixing and mastering. As an artist, you always have to evolve, changing and being creative to be able to grow and keep on delivering your best products to dazzle your fans.

I’ve had a few top Beatport charted songs in the last couple of years, one song ‘Addiction’ was released under Spinnin’ Records which is a huge step for me. I’m aslo very happy that my music video “Let you go” just reached 9 million views on Youtube. So next would be more producing, performing and creating amazing music videos. I’m actually working on my new music video “Pose for the Camera”, I just filmed it in Ibiza. It’s such an exciting project. I will release it under my own label Icon Global Records very very soon. We are also in postproduction stage for two other songs that I will release next year.

I also want to reveal a secret: I started singing, working on my first song now as a singer. Stay tuned!!!

3. What has been your best and your worst gig experience so far. Be honest please, don't hold back.

Every gig is the best gig. I just love the life of a DJ. I love being a performer; I love the nervousness before getting on the stage, the excitement to see the crowd go wild when you start to play the music, then after the gig is done is the feeling of happiness that I could connect with everyone through my music. It’s magical.

No worst gig, some sabotage here and there but it’s part of the business like any other business. You just have to fight by working harder to prove yourself and to find your place in a very competitive industry.

4. If you had to choose, which profession would you be going with? DJ or something else?

I’m an artist at heart, showbiz is my calling. I started out as an actress, then become a model then a DJ, producer. Now I started to sing so hopefully adding singer to the list. This is exactly everything I’ve ever wanted to do so I wouldn’t choose another path.
