Robynn & Kendy x Candy Lo in Baccarat Magazine
Saturday, May 19, 2012 5:00PM / Standard Entry
As you may have seen, we have been working for the past year or so on a series of artist to artist interviews with our friends at Baccarat Magazine. Each issue features two artists in the same genre talking to eachother about their backgrounds and their views on the arts. Previous interviews have included actors, directors, models, TV hosts to name a few.
This time we broke the mold and included THREE artists. Two rising stars, Robynn Yip and her singing partner Kendy Suen, who recently signed a recording deal with a major music label, and industry veteran Candy Lo, who's been active in the Hong Kong and China music scenes for over a decade and released 12 albums.
As you can guess, the article includes a lot of discussion of the pitfalls of the choice to make a career in music and the personal and professional difficulties which arise. Click the magnifying glass to see the full size image of the interview:
Thanks again to the ladies for their participation and also Baccarat and Backstage for the write up and venue. Stay tuned for more news from Robynn and Kendy and Candy on their upcoming activities on their AnD blogs!Share

In addition, a global search has launched on whotels.com/music to find the final DJ, representing Asia, to join the curated group. The DJ Lab is designed to bring together the most exciting rising DJ talent from around the globe and provide them with unprecedented mentorship and valuable tools to help them realize their full potential. The chosen participants will polish their skills during a weeklong DJ ‘boot camp’ at W Retreat & Spa Bali – Seminyak this July in preparation for a global tour hosted at W Hotels and Retreats around the world.
“We are thrilled to welcome a new group of rising global artists to join the 2012 W Hotels & burn studios DJ Lab,” said Vincent Gillet, Global Brand Leader, W Hotels Worldwide and Le Méridien. “Supporting emerging talent is a core value of the W brand, and through our partnership with burn studios, we are continuing to provide a global platform that identifies and supports these up-and-coming artists, while showcasing what’s new and next in music at our hotels worldwide.”
W Hotels Global Music Director, Michaelangelo L’Acqua, along with burn studios, has identified seven promising DJs to join the program at W Bali this year. Hailing from global gateway cities across the world, the 2012 DJs are:

After honing their craft in “master classes,” each DJ will be given the chance to put their skills into practice by spinning at signature W Happenings and other sought-after W Hotels events, providing a fresh soundtrack for W guests and local music fans alike.
“Through our partnership with W Hotels, the burn studios DJ Lab is providing another opportunity for artists to meet and learn from some of the industry’s biggest names,” said Prinz Pinakatt, Global Director, burn, The Coca-Cola Company. “Our programming nurtures and showcases aspiring DJs looking to break onto an international stage”

Starting today through June 15, aspiring DJs can go to whotels.com/music to upload their mix for the chance to join the 2012 DJ Lab. Uploaded mixes will automatically be entered into the MIX.dj platform where sharing and voting by the public will commence. Those DJs with the highest number of votes will then be selected by the DJ Lab Mentors to perform at various W Hotels in Asia in May and June, showcasing their unique, cutting-edge sounds.
The first of these events will kick off at W Taipei on May 18, where L’Acqua will be on-site at the official Show Off party to witness firsthand the DJs who have submitted mixes for consideration.

The search will end on June 15 and the winner announced as the 2012 DJ Lab commences in July.
“The search for the final DJ allows W the opportunity to engage legions of enthusiastic electronic music fans to help us in selecting this last participant,” said Michaelangelo L’Acqua, W Hotels Global Music Director. “It is important that each DJ who joins the program demonstrate not only cutting-edge talent, but also passionate resolve, and through this online platform, we’re able to ensure our final DJ encompasses all of these qualities.”
