Born in Hong Kong, and later emigrating to the UK, Dee Peyok is a failed musician and a failed high school student, too. Everything she has learnt about music and writing has come from life.
In 2012, she travelled East again and discovered Cambodian psychedelic music. She spent seven years travelling the globe, tracking down the surviving Cambodian musicians and capturing their stories. Her first book Away From Beloved Lover: A Cambodian Rock Odyssey
will be published by Granta Books.
She lives in Tottenham with her family.
