After spending the past 3 years in Miami, I get a phone call from my business partner / International Manager @MrScottEddy, currently living in Phuket, Thailand. Pack your bags...you’re coming to Thailand. Just coming off of WMC and Ultra week down in Miami, my weekly residencies, and high-end private event business booming, I asked myself...am I able to leave everything and go 10,000 miles across the world to a place I’ve never been? After 13 years in this business, I realized one thing, when opportunity knocks you better answer cause you might not get it again. The only hesitation was am I able to get into the country. Coming off of last months situation that happened to me in London, when I got denied at the border and sent back, forced to cancel my tour, I was not about to travel 25 hrs to the other side of the world to turn around again. I was assured that immigration at Phuket Airport is a little more welcoming the Heathrow, London. I arrived 5 days ago and already my life has changed. First, Thailand is an all around beautiful place if not one the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. From the amazing scenery, delicious food, to the inexpensive living and warm peaceful people. You fall in love from the minute you step foot here. But down to the real reason for the venture and that is work...or should I say play. Currently, we are working out the final details for my Asian tour, featuring places such as Macao, Singapore, Dubai, Australia, Malayasia, Hong Kong, and Bangkok. I’m excited to travel around Asia, but more excited to play some of the top venues in the world and share my music with cultures I’ve never explored before. As an artist, or someone that has a creative talent, you constantly want to grow and develop. I’m trying to be worldwide with my business and to be worldwide you need to be accessible to the world. There’s a great future here for me and I’m ready to give it all I have. I will be living in Phuket, Thailand for the month of April, with residency at one of the largest venues, Famous NightClub. Then moving to Bangkok in May which will be my central location for work and travel. Hi Asia, my name is DJ Dean Michaels, get ready!
