Exclusive Interview with Sabrina Terence

Siam2nite had the opportunity to have an exclusive interview with Sabrina Terence, shortly before her performance at Ocean Bangkok from 12th April to 15th April on the occasion of Songkran.

You had a successful career as a model, what led you from the catwalk to the DJ booth and how did you get in touch with electronic dance music in the first place?

I always were in touch with music due my model jobs, and then back in 2006 I moved to Dubai because of love, then I got bored of just being a housewife and model so I decided to start DJing, 2008 I had my first gig in a club and it was amazing! 800 people and I was so nervous... from there everything has begun.... I am very thankful for everyone who believed in me!

You play and produce a fusion of House & Progressive House. How would you describe your own music in just a few words?

I have almost everything in my DJ bag and it has been always house music, dance with flavors of Pop or R&B. The music I produce is different more house.

What tracks, remixes or mix sets would you recommend as an introduction for someone that is not yet familiar with your sound?

You can say, they must have heard at least every 2 or 3rd track I will play, I always play only remixed stuff. Sometimes commercial but in Deep House versions. People love that and depends which venue.

What was the best and the worst gig you ever played and what was the funniest thing ever occurred during any of your performances?

My best gig, hmm there are so many I cant really tell each place is unique.
The worst one was when the stage crashed down during an festival, but thank god I was lucky and kept on playing as nothing happen lol

You were born in Germany, but reside in Dubai. What can you tell us about clubbing and nightlife Dubai? Do you have any nightlife related suggestions for first-time visitors?

Dubai is so different from most places in the world, you find everything deep house places and very commercial R&B clubs. But I love it and whatever you like you can go for... I would say, definitely check out the 360 club lounge at Burj Al Arab, amazing view and good for warm ups. Then if you wanna go in a bigger Club go to Sensation Crowne Plaza, mostly R&B but I do Saturdays there if I am in town and people love it!

This Songkran you will perform live here in Bangkok at Ocean Bangkok. Have you visited Thailand before? Will it be your Bangkok debut? What can Bangkok expect of your upcoming performance?

I have been every year to Thailand, and I always love coming back.
For me one of my favorite spots in Asia! But this time it’s my first Songkran gig. I hope I just don’t get to wet :-)
We will play some nice dancy stuff!
