A shining beacon of light in the dark of nightlife, Jade (aka Joeki), the original resident DJ at Bangkok‚s notorious Q Bar, keeps the magic spinning on the turntable of life.

Early exposure to a multitude of cultures, languages and trends was key in his thirst for discovery and experimentation. International schooling coupled with a swedish jazz fanatical father and Beatles-loving mother, twisted irony had a significant impact on his upbringing and all is relayed in his musical style and talent.
His real metamorphosis began at university when he was awarded an overseas scholarship as a diplomatic major, attaining class presidency in a strict private institute. Throwing debaucherous memorable parties and lead singing in a heavy metal band paved the way to honing his understanding of DJ culture.

On returning to Bangkok, diploma in hand, a residency at Axil Cafe proved his finesse, as it became the hottest cafe with tables thrown out to make way for illegal dancing. Jok then ventured on to tour the majority of Bangkok‚s finest locations until being seduced again into residency, this time at Q bar.

Currently entertainment director/resident dj at Q Bar, together with long time partner in crime Billy V, they provide energy, heart and soul, attracting and delighting Bangkok‚s party-hungry, fun-loving populous and top class guest djs. "It's absolutely vital the right audio ingredients are selected from residents, local and illustrious international names Yes, MTV's greatest hits can pack a bar, but where‚s the quality or originality in that?"

With Q Bar's dream team in position, Jok has found time for international exposure starting with a mysterious trip to perform in the Middle East at his Royal Highness's Private Harem. Declining the offer of a year‚s contract, Jok returned to travel to KL at the exclusive club NOUVO, also playing at the Playboy Mansion Party and launch of Juice Magazine, KL.

Besides performing for the jetsetters of the continent, he is has his own radio show with 95.5 FMX presently owned by the multinational corporation Virgin. Jok‚s experience extends to Thai film, playing the role of a Thai diplomat in France, to appear in the next French film festival.

The next logical progression sees Jok involved in the production of a mixed house album (under his producer name JADE) with DJ Billy V and jazzy cuts compilation with David Jacobsen, founder of Q Bar.
Jok‚s vast array of talents pertains to the night, delight and musical flight to ease, please and tease all around him. His appetizing journey continues incorporating new elements in pursuit of unadulterated hedonism for the city of angels.
