I grew up in Croydon, South London and went on to study Fashion after i left school. It wasn't long before i found myself behind the decks in various clubs across London, as i spent most of my time on the dancefloor and fell in love with dance music. I served my Dj apprenticeship at clubs like Danny & Jenny Rampling's 'Glam' at the Milk Bar, Pushca and Bar Industria. I soon found myself travelling across the UK and eventually, the globe. In the past i have been a regular at Cream, Fabric, Back To Basics, Ministry of Sound, The Gallery, Pacha and Slam to name a few (it would take too long to list them all). I've played alongside pretty much everybody from Rampling, Sasha & Danny Tenaglia through to Erol Alkan, Too Many DJ's & Jacques Lu Cont.
I continue to Dj across the UK and Europe and still love the buzz of having a packed crowd climbing the walls to amazing music.
On the recording and production side, i notched up two top 30 UK hits on Paul Oakenfold's Perfecto label and have released more undergound 12"s on Wall of Sound Records.I have collaborated in the past with Sister Bliss (Faithless), Nick Muir (Bedrock), Dave Ball (Soft Cell & The Grid) and Dean Newton amongst others. I recently graduated from Napier University in Edinburgh (where i'm now based) with a First Class Honours Degree in Popular Music Composition & Production.
I am now just starting work on a new batch of tracks so watch this space to hear the fruits of my labour.

Your profile pic made me chuckle, i've actually still got that pic in an A4 clip frame hanging in my spare room wall above my decks along with a few others, you and Mr C and various magazine cuttings over the years, i've always kept them!

Its great to hear what you're playing as i've not had a night out in Edinburgh for over a year now for one reason or another, in fact i think the last time i saw you play was a Taste in the Liquid Room back in late 06!
I've got them burned to cd and i'm going to burn them for my mate Scott up north too, he warmed up for you when you played Inverness back in 99, that was a great night, i still remember you finished with the Moog remix of Kelly Watch the Stars by Air!
