BIO: MixxaLott was first introduced to the art while serving his National Service with the Singapore Armed Forces back in 1987. Along with a few other deejays enlisted together with him, he picked up the know how during their jam sessions in camp and by tagging along with them on their weekend gigs at house parties.

After his Army stint, he was confident enough to go solo, doing loads of house parties where he was spotted by a prominent club owner. He was invited to showcase his talent at a club, where he was offered residency by the owner immediately.

Ever since that fateful day, there was no turning back for DJ MixxaLott. To date, he has held residencies in some of the most prominent clubs here in Singapore, with the likes of Xanadu (Shangri-La), Top Ten (Orchard Towers), Cheeky Monkeys (Mohamed Sultan), Fluid Bar (Far East Square), just to name a few.

Besides holding residencies in Singapore, he has also been invited to perform as a guest deejay at some of Southeast Asia’s high profile clubs including:

Mars in Makati, Philippines (1994- 1996)

Batcave in Jakarta, Indonesia (1999- 2001)

Sari in Bali, Indonesia (2001)

Emporium in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (2002- 2006)

Tao in Hanoi, Vietnam (2008)

The highlight of his career came in 2004 when Calvin Klein invited him to be their official DJ at the European launch of CK One. For one and a half months, he played at campaign launches and after-parties in France and London. At one such event, he so impressed the crowd that another event organizer invited him to be the warm-up DJ for The Fugees and the MC Solaar concert in Cannes, France.

On his off days, you can find him spinning as a guest DJ at a party joint or delivering a chill-out set at an easy listening bar.

A veteran of the local clubbing scene, DJ MixxaLott has developed a keen sense of reading the crowd. In addition to delivering tunes to keep the crowd jiving, he will also inject elements to keep them pleasantly surprised, entertained and wanting more.

DJ MixxaLott has honed his skills in various music genres. His forte in music would include 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s retro, Top 40s, various genres of House Music, Latino flavours, R’n’B and Hip Hop. And while you’re reading this, he is most probably delving in new soundscapes and experimenting with new genres.
