“Cuppy comes from cupcakes. Growing up, I loved baking and I loved sweet things plus I had chubby cheeks so everyone called me cupcake and it became my nickname. So when I was to choose a DJ name when I was 16, cupcakes just stuck naturally. And now that I have evolved from just a DJ, to now making music, CUPPY is my name.”

‘How have you been able to keep up the happy spirit in spite of criticisms and internet trolls?’

“I experience a lot of criticism but what’s interesting is that I do what I do purely because of passion. Despite what people say, I’ve never stopped doing what I’m doing.

As someone in the public eye, I know I have a lot of responsibility. By being in the public eye, I have opened myself to a lot of opinions and everyone is entitled to their opinions. The only difference with me is I don’t let people take me away from my passion, I love what I do.”
