Michael Jared Caabay, also known as DJ/Producer Cabuizee, started his musical journey in the Philippines. Due to his musical curiosity, he learned to play the drums, keyboard, and guitar.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The road of being an artist/musician is always rough. A lot of people and your family will tell you that the music industry is a hard path or career to take because of its instability. You will also get criticized by many that doesn’t like your music. But I take all of those emotional energy in and it helps me fuel my music with the hardship that I am dealing with on this path.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I am a music artist/producer, DJ, and audio engineer. The most achievement that I am most proud of is when I remixed “Bruno Mars – That’s What I Like” and got played internationally on most radio stations, clubs and music festivals. It also got featured on US and Philippines Billboard as Top 3 remix for that song. It also garnished more than 10 million plays/views collectively. I also won the 2018 remixer of the year with this remix. What sets me apart from others is I do all genres. I’m also currently doing Korean pop or Korean music.
What are your plans for the future?
My future plan or currently working on is to start a record label called “S.A. Entertainment AKA StereoAdiks Entertainment” which only going to focus on Korean music with my close friend Michael Jerome Mambaje AKA Memorej.
