Name: Liv Knight

Age: 28

Profession: DJ/Producer

Nationality: British

Motto: Blind Faith

Personality: Split 😉

 

1. My most valued possession: Laptop

2. Where I hang out most: In the UAE it is Nasimi Beach or Iris on Yas. Otherwise it’s summer in Miami or Ibiza.

3. I can’t live without: My music and a gym.

4. I need for my survival: Mascara, good shoes, good headphones, mobile.

5. Car I would most like to own? Dodge Viper

6. My typical day is: I get up, either go to the gym or look through music, then either gym or look through music, then go to spin for a few hours, then see my buddies. Then go out 🙂

7. In 10 years I want to be: In broadcasting – having had my time as a DJ…with men doing my housework while I’m on a beach in LA 🙂

8. My idea of peace: A beautiful view, an ocean, a cliff top, anything where I’m high and can see true beauty in nature.

9. My goal in life? To be a successful artist. To make wicked music, play wicked music make my money from this and to smile everyday

10. Item I buy even though I have too much of it already: Face wash! And shampoo. Candles…err, antiques…post-its?

11. A random act of kindness: I bought some of the beach workers new trainers as they didn’t have proper shoes and some didn’t really have any.

12. Three things I learned today that I can improve on tomorrow: Patience is key: to centre yourself else nothing is clear: to not let romantic notions override true goals; and if I have a lot of power, to wield it correctly.

13. A big thank you goes to: My pop – he tries to help me and loves that I am doing my music.

14. My earliest memory: My brother teaching me to climb out of my cot when I was tiny tiny .. I managed it too … It was impossible but I did it – much to my mother’s horror.

15. To look great I’d wear: a polka-dot bombshell dress or similar and emulate a silver screen goddess.

16: If I was stuck in an elevator, I’d want it to be with: A super guy who would be ex military and could help get us out (then a date of course) Or Armin Van Buren so we could talk music and business.

17. My current Last SONG syndrome (LSS): Hey Now – London Grammar (Arty Remix).

18. Recent movie that made me cry: OMG so many … Saving Mr Banks

19. A perfect weekend is: A picnic, a beach or a country drive, beautiful music, sunlight , and time with people I adore, then DJing in a big club or on a stage with amazing people dancing and having so much fun.

20: I’d rather be: jumping out of a plane over the Palm in Dubai. (That’s the one thing I never did yet!) OR watching the sunset in Ibiza.

21. If I found myself with a free ticket to the moon: I’d take it!! Because I’m a tough cookie and could handle space, AND because that’s too epic to say no to! I’d take with me a scientist who could give me facts as we went up, and a big ass music producer so we could collaborate on a track whilst in space…SIIIIICK!

22: An event in history I wish I could have seen: The Boston Tea Party.

23. A person in history to ask a question: Shakespeare – I’d ask him who wrote all his plays.

24. Food I can associate myself with: Broccoli… it’s intelligent food. It’s green, and I’m eco friendly, and it has big curly sprouts like my curly hair 🙂
