At just eight years old, Ameer Kumaravel Rasa already looks the part of a deejay. Or, at least, an emerging one to look out for in the not too distant future. Last December, the young Year Two student performed at the Traxx FM Christmas Charity Event as well as a a New Year's Eve function alongside his father.

More recently, in April, Ameer showcased his solo deejaying skills at a private event in Genting Highlands. And last month, he walked away with a consolation prize for at the Kids Got Talent (Malaysia) competition for his deejaying skills. He's also rubbed shoulders with many talented deejays including world-class French music producer DJ Snake.
