Das The Way He Rolls
8 Days|December 15, 2016

No dating, no clubbing, and no funky hair colours. Self confessed micro-manager DASMOND KOH rules with an iron fist at his talent agency.

Das The Way He Rolls

The Moneymaker:

Dasmond Koh, 44. The radio deejay turned-TV host started talent agency NoonTalk Media four years ago to “help budding young actors fulfil their dreams”, with Xubin and Aloysius Pang among the seven artistes under his care.

HOME IS: A three-storey terrace house near Caldecott Hill, where he lives with his mum, elder sister and one of his newer signings, 20-year-old Zong Zijie, who’s starred in supporting roles in Tiger Mum and C.L.I.F 4.

HIS RIDE IS: An SUV. “I don’t want to reveal the make of the car, but generally, I like an SUV as it’s spacious. I can buy groceries and still fit three to four people in my car. It’s very convenient,” he says. 

IN HIS WALLET: He keeps two credit cards, an ATM card, his identity card, and his Krisflyer card in a Montblanc wallet. “I don’t believe in having too many credit cards. I have two, in case one goes over the limit (laughs). I also prefer to spend using cards as I know better where all my expenses are. When you use cash, you tend to spend too much without realising it.”

8 DAYS: Six out of seven NoonTalk Media artistes are male (Kimberly Chia is the sole female artiste). Why the preference for guys?
