Red FM DJ, Mynn Lee who’s on air for the RedFM chart show, Fresh Forty and Red Buzz recently became one of Timberland’s influencer. So, we thought, why not get to know the adorable and super friendly Mynn a little better by asking her a few questions:
Why did you decide to get involved with Timberland?
Well, I have always loved Timberland products, their shoes and their style is great. I love going for hikes and walking, and I do travel a lot, so I find that their shoes are really good for that.
You’re quite an all-rounder, so how do you keep busy without wearing yourself out?
Sometimes I do. So, when I get tired, I usually just up and leave and go somewhere. Just to refresh and rejuvenate, then I come back and the whole thing starts again.
What’s the most challenging part about being a DJ?
You know, I never thought that I would be a DJ so when I first came in, it was very challenging to learn the ropes. I’m not a Broadcasting or Mass Comm graduate, I’m actually an Accounting graduate, so doing radio was something totally new to me. I had to learn everything from the start and it’s been about three years now and it’s always a learning thing.
Do you enjoy it?
Yes, I love it and my colleagues are amazing.
How do you usually start your day?
I wake up in the morning and because I have a production house as well, so what I do is go there in the morning and I am usually there during the day. As for at night, if it’s not events, sometimes I have MC jobs because I am on Red FM during the weekend. But we also have meetings at Red FM, so whenever they need me I will go.
It says in your profile that you produce films. What do you like about that?
I’ve always been intrigued with movie making and the entertainment industry as a whole. So, when I quit accounting, I joined theatre and one of the things in my bucket list is to do a musical. I got that done and the next one was to be in a TV show, so I got into that. Once I did, I got to know people from behind the scenes and we talked about it and it seemed like something I really wanted to explore. That’s how I met my partner for the production house. I learned everything there and then on the spot because I knew nothing about it. It’s been 5 years and I love being on set every single time.
You’re known to be an outdoorsy kind of girl. What about the outdoors that you love?
I don’t know, I just love nature and when I travel I love going to places that have beautiful scenery. I think I got it from my mom because when I was younger, I remember her going for walks and I also grew up in Kuantan so I think that’s how I learned to love the outdoors.
Do you hope to inspire other women to stay fit and get outdoors more?
Yeah because the thing is, unfortunately we work in KL and we all work a lot so it’s always indoors with the air-conditioning on. I have friends who like hiking and I try to join them as much as I can whenever I am not busy. Unfortunately, I am always busy and I don’t get to do it as much as I want to but I try to!
What would be the best hiking spot you would suggest everyone to go to?
In Kuantan, there is this little hill that I used to go to when I was younger called Bukit Pelindong.
How do you keep fit and exercise since you have such a busy schedule?
For me, exercise is important because growing up, I was very, very active in sports. So, I try to make time. Like in the evening I go to pole-dancing classes, which I started a couple of months ago.
What’s your beauty regime like?
Just a normal one. I wake up in the morning and put my cream on. And at night too. I also use face masks once a week.
What can we expect from Mynn for the rest of the year?
At the moment, I am very concentrated at Red FM. I’m also doing production and we are actually signing for a movie and hopefully we can shoot by early next year.
