Kupyd has built a decade-long career as an open format DJ, performing across nightlife, weddings, and corporate stages.

After relocating to the East Coast, he quickly carved out a name for himself in New York City—one of the most competitive markets in the world. In just a few years, he has become a familiar presence behind the decks at top venues including Marquee New York and Nebula NYC, while holding a residency at Mission Nightclub, a premier hub in the city’s Asian nightlife scene.

Kupyd is equally at home on festival stages, with recent appearances at Lollapalooza, Breakaway and 1Pulse Lunar New Year Festival, performing for thousands. Along the way, he has shared lineups with artists like Alan Walker, Mike Posner, KSHMR, Cash Cash, and Biscits.

Kupyd doesn’t simply blend one song into another. In fact, he never wants his sets to feel like a “2 hour long song”. Instead, he approaches every set like a live composition. Through sharp wordplay, toneplay, and precisely timed transitions, he transforms familiar records into unexpected moments that keep crowds locked in. 

His routines and transitions have been widely shared across the DJ community, establishing him as a standout creative behind the decks.
