Meet Souliyanh Sangvone

We recently connected with Souliyanh Sangvone and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Souliyanh , you’ve got such an interesting story, but before we jump into that, let’s first talk about a topic near and dear to us – generosity. We think success, happiness and wellbeing depends on authentic generosity and empathy and so we’d love to hear about how you become such a generous person – where do you think your generosity comes from?

I would say my generosity comes from my mother . She’s taught me , treat others how you wanted to be treated. For me at that point , I’ve always put others before me . I’ve had a rough past life , I’m such an empathetic person . I like to take care of others because i know how it feels like to be afraid , alone. Confused . In my eyes i don’t want anyone to feel like that . So i do my best to be there for someone . Overall just makes me happy seeing someone happy . I always think about you never know what’s someone going through . Why be mean ? We’re in a world where everyone is trying to survive and make it. I think that’s why I’ve chosen the name “ SUNSHINE” as my nickname . My first name is Souliyanh, which comes from my nationality Lao. In translation it means Sunshine . A lot of people have told me they believed I’m an human form of a ray of shine because I’m just full of happiness and really good company .

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

What i do for a living i am a local Dj . I’m Lao and my first name is Souliyanh and in translation it means Sunshine ! So i chose that name as my Dj name ! But meaning to that i believe that I’m a human form of a sunshine . I bring happiness to people , i manage to help people remember what life is about . Yes we party , but deeply down we’re staying in the present . We’re enjoying life as we’re supposed to ! Creating the bond and memories that we need to do in life !

As for me growing more in life
, I’ve decided to pursue into Cosmetology. Working on becoming a hairstylist . Everyone knows a salon is everyone safe home . It’s like honestly a free therapist . But what i love about doing hair ! Is able to help the client remember they are beautiful inside and out . Letting them know you’re feeling is valid and you are human . It’s a beautiful feeling clients walk out the salon feeling like a new person ! You can see the confidence as they get up from the chair . I enjoy it so much

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

Learning how to Balance , it was a big impact in my life . I would juggle 3 jobs at the same time . It was very hard to balance my mental health , my social life and etc . I would forget to take care of myself , and it really some damage into my life . It honestly made me go through some depression that i had to face . I was always so focus on growing and improving my future goals . Giving advice take things day by day . Small progression is always something . I was always so hard on myself not recognizing my accomplishment. So do yourself a favor and be kind to yourself . I have a lot of insecurities and teaching myself how to be confident and loving myself .
Always be kind and humble when growing into the industry. Always help others to grow more and not look down on them . Another quality i have is a learning different skills . Improved a lot of communication skills , networking, I’ve gotten into learning how to Bartend , management , Djing , photography, social media marketing. You never know what the future holds for you !

Okay, so before we go, is there anyone you’d like to shoutout for the role they’ve played in helping you develop the essential skills or overcome challenges along the way?

This one probably hard i have about like 3 people who’s made an impact in my life .
Dj Industry i would like to mention my mentors Vubus Ly & Michael Ferrari. They’ve helped me successfully grow into a talented dj . Overcome some challenges I’ve been struggling with . Such as being in the night life and balancing mental health . They helped me build confidence being infront of hundreds of people . Developed networking and communication skills .

Beauty industry, my bestfriend Diana dao . She is the most talented beauty guru ! She successfully owns her own salon called dirty haus . Being her assistant taught me so much. Being patient and learning how to be more aware and emotional intelligence. Being a Hairstylist isn’t easy , they have so many obstacles and challenges. It was really hard but she didn’t give up on me . Kept pushing me to do better ..

As for life in general my roomate/ bestfriend . Nina Khanthong . I’ve been through so much in life . Dealing with trauma , depression, anxiety. I’ve always carried a smile on my face all the time . She’s helped me face these battles. , i felt so lost in my life and didn’t know what to do . She guided to the right path and always kept me accountable. I’m truly grateful for her .
