BrianX Magazine: Describe your youth.
DJ Candy Knauss': I was 'hyperactive' as a child! Really into sports and totally into music!!


How did you get into DJing?
To begin with DJing was just a hobby, I was quite happy as a 'bedroom dj' until one day a mate of mine was playing at this massive rave to 3000 people... He drunk one too many beers, and I was forced on the decks to take over!! I had never played out before, I was so nervous, but I've been addicted to DJing ever since!!

Are DJ Candy Knauss' and Clarissa Wong 2 different personas?
Yes defiantly it has to be that way!! I run my own business, its a female dj agency (www.sexydeejays.com) Plug! Plug!! so anyway clarissa is sensible & business minded on weekdays but at the weekends DJ Candy Knauss' really lets her hair down, I can be a bit of a party girl when I want to be!

Have people recognized you based on your 'celebrity status'?
Sometimes, mainly at airports or in record shops.

Favourite place on the planet to DJ?
Ibiza

How competitive is the female DJ market?
No I wouldn't say the female dj market is competitive at the moment, as I'd say there is more work on offer for female djs, more than female djs if that makes sense!! But won't be for long... there are hundreds of talented girls breaking through now.

Favourite vacation spot?
Cape Town is wonderful, but I'm off to New Zealand in a few months, and I know I'm just gonna love it there, I've always wanted to go!



It's 12:01pm. What are you doing?
Getting out of bed or having breakfast!!



What has been the best experience on the job?

I love my job, but the travelling really gets me down... airports are a nightmare!!




What's the most common question that people ask you?
Are you okay? You look really tired!!!





What do you want the world to know about you?
I can scoff a whole packet of Maryland chocolate chip cookies with one cup of tea, no problem!

If you could have anything in the world, what would it be?
To reach all my goals in life. 6 achieved, so only 5084 to go!!




Do you wear any specific type of clothing to DJ?
Its hard to wear high heels & skirts when working, so I normally go for the trendy option, funky boots, jeans & strappy number!!


How hard do you party?
Yes sometimes I party Hard........ my wildest experience was a trip to Manumission on an all girl holiday to Ibiza!! I can't really remember much after losing my shoe!!
