Get to know Tita Lau with these 10 fun facts !
1. I started my career as a vocalist, singing and writing for other DJs’ records before moving on to vocalizing all my own tracks.
2. I’ve been playing for about 15 years. I first taught myself on Technics 1210s that my ex-boyfriend bought me for £100—I know, right? I saved up, sold the technics, and got CDJ 1000s because that’s what all the clubs were using and I needed to learn with the right equipment. My only regret is selling them. One day, I’ll buy 1210s again… even though they’re basically a million pounds now 🥲.
3. My name means “unique”. It also means “aunt” in many languages 😝 – that was actually the inspiration behind my “unique” track.
4. I’m a qualified hairdresser. My father asked me to learn a trade just in case music didn’t work out. I lasted less than six months at the salon, working two jobs, before going full-time into DJing.
5. My fiancé is one of the best DJs in the world (obviously, I’m biased). Plus, Test said he would DJ our wedding… insane.
6. I love fashion and often make or rework many of my stage outfits.
7. My dad is an incredible chef. I grew up working most nights in our family’s Chinese takeout/restaurant, which allowed me to make music in my home studio during the day. I’m very lucky that my parents over-achieve and give me time off whenever possible to go to shows. In fact, I now have my own night called Take Out in their honor.
8. I’m half Chinese and half English. No one can figure out where I’m from—it’s one of the most searched things about me! So here it is: my dad is from Hong Kong, and my mom is English.
9. I have been fishing for over 10 years.
10. My biggest song on Spotify, “Disconnected,” was actually the result of a disagreement my fiancé James and I had in the studio. I said, “I feel a little… disconnected,” and he told me, “Say that into the mic.” And that was it—”Disconnected” was born. The whole song came together in about 15 to 20 minutes!
