Early life and career

From Khon Buri, Thailand, Nakadia was born to farmers and is the youngest of five siblings. She was left alone for a month before her family gave her 300 baht to survive. At the age of fifteen, Nakadia moved to Khorat where she lived in an apartment alongside five other girls. She worked in factories, making computer cables, decorative plastic dishes and hard disk drives. Two years later, she worked in a local shopping mall. She frequently went nightclubbing, where she learnt of the techno genre. In 2002, a friend of hers named Seb (who eventually became her manager) recommended her to become a DJ, which was when she visited him in Germany to set up her first gig.[5][6][7][8][9]

She began her career as a disc jockey in 2003. In 2011, Nakadia toured São Paulo, Brazil and performed at D'Edge. She performed in prestigious clubs such as Cafe D'Antwerp of Belgium, Tresor of Germany, Sugar Factory of the Netherlands, and had performances in major festivals in Europe such as Loveparade and Queensday. She released three songs through the labels JETT Records of France and NB Records of Austria.[10][11][12]
