U Ready?! Sabrina Tsang AKA DJ Similak Chyld is known for moving dancefloors from San Francisco to New York and Japan with her unique fusion of hip-hop, soul, reggae, breaks, Latin, and house music.

Determined to please the crowd with her smooth mixing and dope musical selections, Similak Chyld can be found rocking the turntables at clubs, bars and private parties. She honed her turntable skills on the SF Bay Area party circuit before hooking up with the international crews at FTC Skate and Future Primitive Sound. For them, Similak has been the in-house DJ at exhibit openings and video release parties for artists such as Doze Green, The Barnstormers, and Mike Giant. She also holds weekly San Francisco residencies at Butterfly SF and works with fabric8 & FTC SF.

Similak has always been a music aficionado, having grown up with piano lessons before switching to the alto saxophone in high school. Her jazz ensemble toured extensively throughout Asia, but she soon traded in the sax for a pair of turntables and a mixer.

Similak's first break as a DJ came through college radio, when she produced and hosted two shows at Stanford University’s KZSU, where she shared the airwaves with hip-hop pioneer Kevvy Kev. She moved on to play host on syndicated urban television show “Backstage Pass.” Her music film and television experience also includes work with Dwayne Wiggins (Toni Tony Tone) on “Life Is”, a documentary about Bay Area hip-hop legend Too Short, and with Renee Moncada McElroy (Fly Media Group) on the music show “Funk U TV.”

Similak Chyld has played alongside such renowned artists as Wu Tang Clan, Jurassic 5, Z-Trip, Radar, Mix Master Mike, Little Louie Vega, David Harness, Goldie, Disco D, UFO!, the Triple Threat DJs, Rob Swift, Lyrics Born, Joyo Velarde, P.E.A.C.E (Freestyle Fellowship), Faust and Shortee, JBoogie's Dubtronic Science, Blue Sirkut (Karl Denson's Tiny Universe), Jedi (Digable Planets), the 4oneFunk DJs, Oakland Faders (Scion Mixtape Winners), RedWine DJs, and Romanowski.
