"GIRL TALK IS A PHASE OF ROLLER COASTER EMOTIONS GIRLS GO THROUGH WHEN THEY ARE GROWING UP, DEALING WITH BOYS/GIRLS THEY ARE CRAZY ABOUT."
FIRST OF ALL, CAN YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELF?
Hello, my name is Sulina aka Sublu!
WHAT’S THE ORIGIN OF YOUR NAME?
Sublu was a nickname created for me when I first dyed my hair blue in 2012.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A DJ, AND DID THAT CONTRIBUTE TO YOUR MUSIC CAREER?
I have been DJing for about 5 years now :] and I am so happy that I get to play music for people. I throw in my own songs here and there, haha!
TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT MADE YOU GET INTO MAKING MUSIC?
My father was a musician and I grew up in a little apartment in Long Beach with a studio in the middle of the living room. He brought british rock to the Cambodian music scene during the 80s-90s.
BEHIND EVERY ALBUM, THERE’S INSPIRATION. WHAT WAS THE INSPIRATION BEHIND GIRL TALK?
Girl Talk represents the pop side to Sublu. As a little girl, I used to watch all these pop icons, their music videos and memorize their choreography. Every single day I would sing and dance in front of the mirror. Girl Talk is a phase of roller coaster emotions girls go through when they are growing up, dealing with boys/girls they are crazy about.
IT’S STILL EARLY, BUT HAVING FINISHED YOUR FIRST ALBUM, HAVE YOU THOUGHT AHEAD TO ANY FUTURE PROJECTS?
yes, yes and YES! Now that I got Girl Talk pop phase out of my system, I want my next project to showcase a different side to Sublu. I am heavily influenced by so many genres that my sound can go anywhere; and to me, thats the exciting and fun part.
ON A LESS SERIOUS NOTE, TELL US ABOUT SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE PLACES TO EAT?
This is way too hard.. I love ALL foods from all cultures!
AND LASTLY, YOU’RE ON DEATH ROW, WHAT’S YOUR LAST MEAL?
Damn.. medium rare steak.
