Lead singer of The Cambodian Space Project Srey Thy, was confirmed as a Good Will Ambassador for UN Women’s UNiTE, Ban Ki Moon’s campaign to end violence against women.
The Cambodian Space Project release their debut album '2011: A Space Odyssey' on 12th September. They arrive in the UK for their first ever UK shows, playing at this years End of The Road Festival, Soundway Record's London Party and a Rough Trade East instore amongst others.
Srey Thy has spoken at events by SISHA - Anti-Human Trafficking and Exploitation Organisation and speaks regularly to community groups around the country. In 2011 Cambodia Space Project ventured out to Srey’s home village with two Australian dentists and helped with over 100 oral surgeries supplying basic dental equipment and essential hygiene information. To mark International Human Rights Day 2011, the OHCHR recently commissioned Cambodian Space Project to collaborate with Master Kong Nay (the Ray Charles of Cambodia), a legend in Cambodian music to highlight the inequalities women face in Cambodian society.
Srey grew up in a ‘low caste’ family in one of Cambodia’s poorest rural areas. She was a child labourer for the Khmer Rouge’s and Pol Pot’s brutal regime and kidnapped as a teenager and almost forced into a sex trafficking ring. Srey’s story is like many women in Cambodia. Since her turbulent upbringing Srey The has cut her crust through working in restaurants and karaoke bars but it wasn’t until Christmas 2009 and a chance meeting with Australian producer and CSP's guitarist Julien Poulson that Srey’s life changed so dramatically.
