Cammy V Exclusive Interview for EDMDroid Asia

1. Please tell us and our readers more about the nightlife in the Philippines right now in times of Covid, specially in your hometown of Manila?

Manila Philippines' nightlife is back and booming like we never left. Filipinos are still wearing masks and social distancing but I would say we party more responsibly in that sense. The energy and excitement of the crowd is the charm of this city's nightlife so much so as the amazing DJs in my hometown.



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

It all started from curiosity, as my friends were DJs. I felt the need to explore how to DJ and find out what is the nightlife in Manila. Back in 2011, I was asked if I wanted to learn how to DJ and I believe saying yes is the best decision I've made in my life. Since then, I've been a full time Dj for 11 years now and I am now venturing into singing original tracks with XXRTASAUS and hopefully the whole world will enjoy.




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

The best show I had was in Bacolod City Philippines, it was at SummerSmash 2015. The energy of the crowd was intoxicating and infectious. Thousands of people gathered as they all jumped and sang songs together. To me, this is one of the best crowds as everyone connected through music I played during the festival. It's not about fancy equipment or the location but it's the people who make it the best gig of my career. The worst gig was when I had food poisoning during my tour, I was in Davao City during the 2nd leg of my 3 show tour that week. I felt so sick that I was vomiting and I wanted to stay in my hotel room to recover, but hey, show must go on! So I had to drink rehydrating electrolytes all night and run to the bathroom during my set.



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

At this point in my life, I would say Djing is my passion and I am happy doing what I do. Who knows what the future may hold, Cammy V. is full of surprises.



5. Top 3 tracks at the moment?

1. Drop the Pressure - (Club Mix) Mylo
2. Purple Widow - Nico Moreno
3. Sex U (666uba Rework) - DJ Fuck Off



6. With which intl. act would you love to collaborate and why?

I would be honoured to collaborate or share the stage with Will Sparks as he is one of the main influences I have when it comes to my current sound and inspiration to how I perform on stage. His energy, presence and alluring dark beats is definitely what I resonate with as Cammy V.

7. Are you keen on cooking up an exclusive mix for us and our readers ? (60min)

Here is the link of my workout mixtape : https://www.mixcloud.com/Djcammyv/cammyv-workout-mixtape/

Since the pandemic, I have constantly been working on my health, wellness and change of lifestyle by incorporating workouts with my music. So I made this mixtape to help motivate people to exercise and pair it with music they will hear in the club.



8. Who is managing you right now and where can they reach you? Where are you based and where would you want to be based in the future?

I am a freelance DJ and I am my own manager, marketing, PR and everything in between as an artist. I manage my own bookings and you can reach me through IG :https://www.instagram.com/djcammyv/ or Djcammyv@gmail.com for inquiries.

I am currently based in Manila, Philippines and I am now looking at other countries to reside around Asia, exciting future ahead!



9. What are your work-related plans for 2022, your career, and beyond?

So far I have shows lined up across Philippines from clubs, festivals and events. I plan to tour around Asia when pandemic is over, I can't wait to see how the nightlife has changed everywhere. I'm also focusing on collaborations with producers as a singer and potentially be signed under a record label. I am a hard worker and love to travel so I am very open to exploring new destinations for my tour as a DJ.



10. Congratulations for making it the #1 Sexiest DJ in the Philippines. Please tell us how you feel about it and what the reactions were from peers and fans? What's your ultimate goal to be archived in this line of work?

To be honest, I was really not expecting to win but just being a part of this poll from EdmDroid is already a win for me as a DJ in the Philippines. My friends, family and fans were all so supportive of me in the best way they can, I really feel blessed to have all of them. My ultimate goal is to connect with more people all over the world through music and shows because being a great DJ is making people dance and sharing an experience they will remember.
