ZORA CHAN IS, BY TRADE, A PROFESSIONAL JAZZ, FUNK & HIP HOP DANCER; BUT IN REALITY, SHE IS MUCH MORE THAN THAT. A TRUE ARTIST FORGED FROM THE CREATIVE SCENE IN KOWLOON. SINCE TURNING HER HAND TO DJING, SHE BRINGS OUT ANOTHER SIDE OF HER MUSICAL COLLECTION: DEEP HOUSE, TECHNO, MINIMAL & CHILL OUT CUTS.
ZORA CHAN 是一位專業的爵士、放克和嘻哈舞者；但實際上，她的意義遠不止於此。 一位真正的藝術家，源自於九龍的創意場景。自從開始做 DJ 以來，她帶來了音樂收藏的另一面：Deep House、Techno、Minimal 和 Chill out Cuts。
Hey Zora, could you tell us a little bit about your creative background in dance, and how/when you got started DJing? 嘿，Zora，您能告訴我們一些您在舞蹈方面的創作背景，以及您是如何/何時開始打碟的嗎？
Before I was exposed to electronic music, I often went to some band shows or music festivals. I was already very interested in music. I met a group of DJ friends by chance, and after getting to know them for a long time, I learned some DJing skills from them. I improved my own skills, learned a lot and as time went by, my friends encouraged me to start playing in public.
本身未接觸電子音樂前就已經常去看一些band Show or music festival 本身對音樂已有很濃厚興趣，偶爾下接觸了 一班DJ 朋友、認識久了就跟他們學了一些打碟技巧再加以自己鑽硏, 日子久了朋友鼓勵底下就開始公開放歌了
What’s your favourite genre(s) to play and what music resonates with you the most? 您最喜歡演奏什麼流派以及什麼音樂最能引起您的共鳴？
When I was young , I liked to listen some R & B , Band Sound like Nu Metal , Grunge , Brit pop & Trip Hop music, and now I like to listen some electronic like Techno , Dubsteps , Deep House etc..
當我年輕的時候，我喜歡聽一些R&B，Band Sound，如Nu Metal，Grunge，Brit pop和Trip Hop音樂，現在我喜歡聽一些電子音樂，如Techno，Dubsteps，Deep House等。
Is this your first time DJing in a pizzeria? If you had to invent a new pizza, what toppings would it have and what would you call it? 這是您第一次在披薩店打碟嗎？如果你必須發明一種新的披薩，它會有什麼配料，你會怎麼稱呼它？
Yes , this is my 1 st time . New toppings : HK style : curry fishball . I would like to call “Hong Kong Street Stall 香港街邊檔 Pizza”
是的，這是我第一次。新配料：港式：咖哩魚丸。我想叫“香港街邊檔Pizza”
So far, what’s your favourite place you have played a DJ set, and what would be your dream venue to play a set?
到目前為止，您最喜歡在哪裡演奏 DJ 音樂，您夢想的演奏場所又是哪裡
My favorite place to perform is on a desert island, with powerful audio equipment and a natural environment. Everyone is focused on the music without any distracting thoughts. I believe this is the venue where I dream to perform.
我最喜歡的演奏地方是在一個荒島 上，強勁音響器材，大自然環境底下，大家都專注在音樂上，沒有任何雜念。相信這裏都是我夢想想要表演的埸地了
What are your personal achievements & highlights so far, and what would you like to achieve in the future? 到目前為止，您的個人成就和亮點是什麼？未來你想實現什麼目標？
My personal achievements is being a dancer & dance teacher for over 10 years in Hong Kong. I hope I can travel all over the world to places like L.A., Tokyo, Seoul & London to teach & perform.
我個人的成就是在香港擔任舞蹈家和舞蹈老師超過10年。 我希望我可以環遊世界，去洛杉磯、東京、首爾和倫敦等地教學和表演。
If you could tell the world one thing or story about what Kowloon, Hong Kong is and what it represents, what would it be? 如果你可以向世界講述一件關於香港九龍是什麼以及它代表什麼的事情或故事，它會是什麼？
Kowloon is a very humane place, with many like-minded people participating in many different activities. Unlimited creativity, endless possibilities. The Hong Kong Island area is relatively quiet, has a different cultural atmosphere, and feels slower. So Hong Kong will be a special place, suitable for both movement and silence.
九龍會相當有人情昧的地方，會有很多志同道合的人會攪很多不同的活動 。創意無限， 有無窮可能性 。 而港島區則比較寧靜 , 會有另一種文化氣息, 感覺比較慢一點
所以香港會是一個特別地方 ， 動靜皆宜
