An accomplished DJ, Producer, Vocalist, and fashion icon, There is simply no mountain too high for Tita Lau to Climb.

Exron got the chance to interview Tita Lau after a momentous set at AMF Festival during Amsterdam Dance Event. The atmosphere was one of pure bliss as attendees reveled in the global dance event’s world-class production. Only adding to the excitement, Tita Lau released her newest track “Take Off” just hours before her performance.

With roots in London, Tita’s passion for music has blossomed from a young age. Her early influences, especially the legendary Michael Jackson, have undoubtedly shaped her musical style and also her stage presence. “He was like the best performer of all time,” she reflected, noting how his captivating movements inspired her to bring that same energy to her performances. The thrill of dancing and engaging with her audience is something she strives to replicate every time she steps on stage.

As a female artist in a predominantly male industry, Tita has faced her share of challenges. Thus, her advice to others navigating this landscape was straightforward yet profound: “Don’t be blindsided by negative comments.” To maintain focus, she has taken proactive measures such as blocking hurtful words on social media. Doing this has allowed her to concentrate on her craft without being deterred by negativity.

Undoubtedly, Tita’s career has taken her across the globe. While she has played at prestigious venues globally, she is particularly looking forward to her upcoming Las Vegas debut. The city’s vibrant energy and iconic status is a milestone she eagerly anticipates.

Balancing personal and professional life can be challenging for any touring artist, and Tita is no exception. Given that her fiancé James Hype is also a DJ, the couple finds themselves navigating the complexities of their hectic tour schedules. Nonetheless, she notes that they are getting better year by year at building out quality time amid the chaos.

Unquestionably, music fans went wild when James Hype proposed to Tita Lau last summer. James Hype and Tita Lau have gained cult followings, both separately as artists and in their journey as a couple. Their follower bases, HYPEFAM and T-Gang, continue to follow them to the ends of the earth.

Tita’s style is as dynamic as her music, often serving as a source of inspiration for her fans. Recently, she has incorporated more local London fashion brands into her wardrobe, with a newfound love for latex clothing. “Latex is really my thing right now,” she emphasized – a bold and powerful fashion statement that complement her stage persona. On that note, she assured fans to “watch this space, there’s going to be so many new outfits to come.”

Despite the growing number of trends in the music scene, Tita embraces this fluidity. When asked if there is anything in particular that she would change, she responded emphatically no. “I really do love every genre of house music under the umbrella,” she stated, highlighting her raver spirit and warmhearted approach to music.

Amsterdam holds a special place in Tita’s heart, particularly for its vibrant shopping scene. During her most recent trip, she indulged in exploring various latex stores. Responding to her favorite thing about Amsterdam, she said “The shops for sure – I found so many good latex stores.” Furthermore, she appreciates the city’s friendly atmosphere and its distinctive culture, even if navigating the bike-filled streets has posed a few close calls.

Among her recent accomplishments, Tita is particularly proud of her new single “Take Off,” released under STEREOHYPE. This track has resonated strongly with audiences and became a standout moment in her AMF performance. “It went off – I think that was the biggest moment in the set actually,” she shared. Moreover, she expressed excitement about the fresh sound profile that distinguishes this release from her previous work.

As Tita Lau continues to make a name in the music industry, she remains committed to her craft and the authentic expression it brings. Marked by perseverance and a genuine love for music, her journey thus far is just beginning. With her uplifting stage presence and undying public support for her relationship with James Hype, Tita will certainly make a lasting impact on the music scene.
