About / Biography

My music career started with a bang, with a world wide number one record . 'DUB BE GOOD TO ME' alongside Norman Cook ,AKA Fatboy Slim .I had aproached him with an idea to sing over one of his instramental tracks .I had been learning to Dj at school and was (and still am) utterly obsessed with mixing records together. This was 1990 and all genres of dance music were emerging and transforming .

Through the decades, I have explored all forms of music on the dancefloor.From soul to disco ,house, pop,mowtown ,funk ,R&B..the list never ends,If a track brings joy and fits the moment it works. i have learnt how to keep people dancing with an element of suprise and exitement .

I play vared events .I can be seen opening a Mary Quant exibition at the V&A museum one evening,a wedding the followinhg night ,a 21st birthday the next, a corporate event at Claridges ,then a big muddy festival the next. I have been known to begin a stint on A Royal Caribean cruise then after .

My clients have a huge demografic and social range .I am always open to opportunities and I love a theme 😊 ..Im very lucky I love what i do and adore a challange .i was recently asked to play a mix of 'county' music and 'garage' ..somewhat a tricky ,It was a roaring sucess .Anything and everything is on the table for a good time .

Im self sufficient with regards to equipment and pop up super easily .All i need is a power source .I have been working with BYD electric cars, providing music to the launches and events, powered literally ,from the car .I could power a whole festival from a BYD .Always evolving and exploring new adventures in music .

Thats me for now .

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

I have been Djing my entire adult life and have countless amazing experiences . Fabric is a pretty epic place to play .
I was proud to play at Space terrace in IBIZA in the early days . I honestly couldn't choose my favourite festival ,maybe Big day out in Australia playing along side Fatboy slim and the chemical brothers. Oh and when the girls won the Euros at Wembley !! Gill Scott says I'm her lucky charm .


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

I would have to say Norman Cook AKA FATBOY SLIM would be my biggest influence .
I left home at 17 and moved to Brighton to make an album with him and learnt everything I know about music and the magic of its powers . I have travelled the world with him performing and collecting music .
Id say the greatest song of all time would have to be 'WONDERFUL WORLD' BY Louis Armstrong.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I started to learn to mix as a teen , My greatest goal in like was to master my turntables .Mixing records together ,songs over other backing tracks was my obsession. Once I could get the tracks in time,my life was built on that .Music is limitless and through the years I have explored all and every genre that excites a dance floor .From funk ,disco ,hip hop ,soul ,house ,pop ....Everything and anything that envokes emotion and dancing ,I have gathered to keep forever for my super power tools to play with . Djing has taken me around the world countless times .

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I can pop up a party in less than an hour .I DJ from my laptop and controller which go straight into the speakers ,minimum fuss, maximum sound with my gear.Very simple and sounds fantastic. I place suitably coloured lighting around the space which I like to agree with the client first which ones . Depending on the event my timings vary to what is required . I like to arrive an hour and half to two hours before music is to start.


Are you happy to perform outside?

I am happy to perform outside in the hope I will be covered from shade or rain .
a power supply is all I need.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

The clients vision is priority.I like to get a good idea of what they would like to hear, sharing Spotify playlists is a great way to do that .I make a playlist for the client built on their taste.This way ,I am armed and ready on the night.Always open to ideas and requests on the night . Anything is possible !


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

It was exactly what they hoped for and more .

once the music starts I don't stop till the last song .
