Yen Sung, Portugal's most renowned DJ, in Lisbon, Portugal (1993).
Portugal-based Yen Sung, sometimes referenced as Portugal’s First Lady of Dance Music, is a female DJ, vocalist and electronic music producer of Portuguese, African and Chinese descent. For three decades, Yen Sung has been at the center of Lisbon's club scene as a longstanding resident House music DJ at club Frágil and its successor Luxfrágil.
Yen Sung was born in 1970 in Beira, Mozambique, to parents of Portuguese, African and Chinese backgrounds. Fleeing the Mozambican Civil War that followed the end of Portuguese rule, she and her family moved to Lisbon in 1977.
In 1992, after asking for a job in the coatroom of Lisbon's most notorious nightclub, Frágil. Club owner, Manuel Reis, instead offered Yen Sung a job as a DJ. She had very little experience, but with a few practice sessions, her residency had essentially already begun.
Yen was not only the first female career DJ in Portugal, she was also the first Portuguese hip hop DJ (male of female). It began when another boss at Frágil, suggested she do an Acid jazz night. "Why do acid jazz? Everywhere is playing that." Yen told him, "I think we should do a hip hop night.", but he declined.
She then partnered with rapper-poet Ithaka Darin Pappas (So Get Up, Escape From the City of Angels) and the two began approaching dive bars in the then dilapidated Cais do Sodré area to do hip hop events. One of them, called Viking, accepted. Ithaka, a Californian living in Portugal, was the doorman/promotor and Yen Sung was the DJ. Audiences grew and parties soon had to be moved to a warehouse in the Santos district on the docks of the Tagus River, where Yen would also play instrumental tracks to include an Open mic session for upstart MCs.
In 1993, Yen Sung as a vocalist/DJ co-founded the early Hip-hop tuga project Da Weasel along with Angolan-born rapper Carlão. She left the project in 1997 to concentrate on DJing full-time.
