MR: How did you like collaborating with Rufus Du Sol? How did this collaboration come about? DK: I was very lucky to lay down a demo vocal for the boys one afternoon in their studio in Sydney and they ended up loving it and using it on the album. They are so good to me and incredibly supportive and inspiring. They are three of the hardest working and most talented people I've ever met and they aren't afraid to share their gifts and nurture and help other artists, like me.
MR: What would be your advice to someone who wanted to start DJing? DK: Just do it! Get out there, buy a controller or decks if you can afford them and then practice, practice, practice! Ask for help and learn as you go. Constantly work on curating the music you want to play and the sounds you want to hear. I was so messy and afraid at my first few gigs and I made so many mistakes, but every mistake taught me something and the hours of practice and music sourcing and searching are so worth it when you are out there doing what you love and feeling confident about it!
MR: Do you have any favorite fashion designers? What do you wear when you perform? DK: I love Backstage clothing, I wear a lot of their stuff. I also wear Shakuhachi when I'm singing and Adidas when I'm DJing. I also work with Kim from Capital L boutique. She is always on trend with the latest Australian brands, which I love. She's a genius. ■
