More About DK Eng
As the new millennium approached, Eng sought to broaden his artistic horizons and to deepen his personal and spiritual roots by establishing a base in Asia--an interest that was first piqued when Eng extensively toured the continent with Snow in the mid-90s. Following personal and professional travels throughout Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China ,Singapore and Malaysia, Eng finally settled in Bangkok, Thailand in 1996, where he quickly established Dimsum Entertainment. Dimsum's first venture was “Fun Fun Fun” a million album seller for the Thai hip-hop artist, Joey Boy. This was followed by an album by Boyd Kosiyabong, Thailand's most ubiquitous songwriter whose songs have long dominated the Thai charts also selling millions, and Jack Sucarom's "Revolution of Love," another Thai chart topper.
Eng then return back to the United States to joined AV8 Records (largest urban vinyl company in the USA) and Eightball Records (international club dance label) in New York as a consultant and adviser.
In 2005, Eng brought Dimsum Entertainment back home to his native New York City to develop, produce and promote asian artists for the american market. Venus Butterfly, an all Asian female garage rock band is the first major project he is currently developing and producing. The band was being promoted through Underground Garage where Eng is a consultant, advisor and heads the Asian international department.

The company also has two channels on Sirius satellite radio which broadcasts 24 hours a day and produces major rock festivals, concerts, tours, television shows and battle of the bands on MTV.
