1) DJ Phatbeatz and his journey to becoming a DJ

DJ Phatbeatz is known as one of the most influential DJs in Vietnam. His love of music took root when he was a child, and he soon realised that DJing was the career that held all his hopes and ambitions.
Chasing that dream wasn't easy. Like so many young people today, DJ Phatbeatz faced fierce opposition from his family, but the more they pushed back, the more determined he became to keep learning and to do the job properly. His tireless effort paid off with his first performance contract at one of the most famous bars in Saigon at the time: the Q Bar.
2) Memorable milestones in his career
In 2015, DJ Phatbeatz placed fourth in the Top DJ competition organised by Budweiser, proving himself one of Vietnam's leading DJs in Hip Hop and Electronica.
He was the first Vietnamese DJ to tour the United States, playing six major states on the Gravity Tour Tomark. He left his mark on big stages such as Lock & Key and Pharoah Bar, inspiring young people to take on challenges and follow their passion.
