Having taken the UK and International club scene by storm over the last 2 years, Lauren Pope continues her unparalleled and unrivalled lead role as the original and No1 UK Glamour Girl DJ – and yes, she can actually play!
Born and bred in small Devon town Torquay, Lauren decided to head to the bright lights of London to pursue her music and modelling career. Whilst putting in the hours honing her DJ skills she built up a huge fan base as one of the UK's most popular and well known models having appeared regularly on the pages of all the major lads magazines including Nuts, Zoo, FHM, Loaded, Mixmag and was one of the most frequently used 'Page 3' girls for national newspapers The Sun and the Daily Star. This lead to becoming a recognised face on the London party scene which helped cement her as a regular on the pages of gossip columns and magazines. She was mostly linked to the UK's most eligible bachelors including her high profile ‘royal romance’ with Prince Harry. Lauren’s career change continues to get support from these publications with popular UK magazine 'Nuts' naming her as one of the 'Worlds Sexiest DJ’s', as well as always being highly ranked in their ‘Top 100…’ polls. Lauren not only has a strong fan base here in the UK but she has built up her name around the globe with publications from Australia, Denmark, Slovenia, Spain and Czech Republic often using her images.
Alongside modelling came a successful acting career for Lauren which including main roles in 2 of the UK's most popular shows at the time, ‘Mile High’ and ‘Dream Team’ (Sky 1), as well as film roles in critically acclaimed UK productions 'Rise of the Footsoldier' and 'Clubbing to Death'.
Lauren is regularly asked to give her opinion as a celebrity guest on current affair television shows and was also a contestant on a celebrity edition of 'The Weakest link' with Anne Robinson. Lauren also appeared on the popular entrepreneur based reality show 'Tycoon' on ITV1 with Dragons Den's Peter Jones.
Once Lauren was confident and ready to DJ she was unleashed on the club circuit achieving rave reviews. This led to bookings internationally, which have to date included high profile clubs and events in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Moscow, Chicago, Miami, Athens, Mallorca, Mumbai, Goa, Magaluf, Kavos, Chamonix, Shanghai, London, Manchester, Rome, Kuwait, Croatia, Spain, Liverpool and many more.
Lauren can play a selection of genres including RnB and Hip Hop but her current success is down to her sexy style of house music playing the best electro, vocal, commercial and progressive tunes across the globe. Lauren never fails to get the crowd in a frenzy – her genuine passion for music always ensures she delivers an outstanding set, and as a result many repeat bookings and an ever growing fanbase. Lauren always lives up to her glam girl image by dressing to impress whilst behind the decks and she consistently proves that she is far more than just a pretty face as she has successfully launched herself as a credible international DJ.
Lauren has also moved into the world of producing and is now being asked to remix tunes for well known UK artists. Most recently she worked with Heatwave on the remix for 'Broken' by RnB artist Pierre Lewis, released via AMD (Universal) which reached No6 in the club charts. Lauren is now working on more of her own spicy, sexy material due to be released in 2010.
Having built a credible name on the DJ scene along with her sexy glam image, Lauren became the ‘go to’ girl for celebrities wanting to host and party in London and she has spun for T-Pain, Neyo, Jenna Jameson and Lindsey Lohan. This event attracted a lot of controversy and press attention for her as it was around the time Lindsey was ‘off’ with girlfriend Sam Ronson. Subsequently Lauren was unwittingly brought into the bitter battle, touted in the press as Lindseys ‘revenge’ on Sam, by being requested to spin at her London launch party for her new tanning range. Lauren was of course happy to oblige!
Having become a regular name on the UK, Middle East and European club scene Lauren has securely set her sights on cracking the American market with gigs in the last few months including Y Bar and Enclave in Chicago and Liv @ The Fontainebleau in Miami. Lauren arrived into Miami being followed by paparazzi's throughout the trip showing the major interest in Lauren stateside.
Alongside the modelling and Djing Lauren keeps herself busy with her latest business venture, producing and distributing her own brand of hair extensions.
KELLIE ACREMAN – OFFICIALLY ONE OF THE WORLD’S SEXIEST DJ'S!
Kellie Acreman has achieved a great deal as a DJ in a very short space of time. Having performed at gigs all over the UK and worldwide in the last 18 months she has consistently proved her abilities as a leading Female DJ destroying the decks and the competition wherever she goes. Her success has been cemented in 2009 as she’s been declared the “World’s Sexiest DJ” (Nuts Magazine July 2009) with acclaim and support from one of the world’s leading DJ’s – the infamous Judge Jules (Radio 1).
The 27 year old model / DJ, originally from Torquay in Devon, decided to leave the country life behind in 2005 and follow her dream of becoming a successful glamour model in the bright city lights of London. She began her career in the now infamous 'FHM High Street Honeys' competition and achieved runner up position and a sexy double page spread in the magazine. This caught the eye of one of the top London Model agents who immediately saw Kellie’s potential and recognised her determination. From there the ‘FHM Honey’s Tour’ was conceived which was a new concept in UK clubs and venues. Kellie featured prominently in all the shows and the success of the tour lead to regular photoshoots in a wide variety of leading magazines and tabloids including the Daily Star, FHM, Maxim, Loaded, Front, Zoo and Nuts. This also led to major underwear campaigns for Victoria Silvestedst and Janet Reger lingerie lines. Kellie soon became recognised further afield and went on to do several shoots in exotic locations, including Miami, and as a result she has an ever growing fan base in the US, Germany, Australia and Spain - territories that continue to use Kellie’s pictures for publications.
Kellie’s natural ability in front of the camera has also led to TV and acting work. She showed her fiery side when she took part in a celebrity/model boxing tournament called 'Catfight'. This involved 14 of the the UK's top models battling it out in the boxing ring after an intense 6-7 months of hardcore training in the Uk and Tenerife. Kellie's boxing ability impressed one of her trainers so much she was asked to fight for his boxing club! Kellie declined this offer as she wanted to keep her model looks intact!
Kellie has also appeared in an ITV drama with Martin Clunes and T4's ‘Vanity Lair’ screened early 2008. This was a prime time show involving Kellie and 10 other contestants living in a Big Brother style house competing for a £10,000 prize. Kellie had a great reaction from the public whilst appearing on the show with many people commenting on how well she came across and several prominent TV / film offers presented themselves..... Kellie accepted a part in major Brit-flick “The Big I Am” filmed in late 08, alongside Michael Marsden (Reservoir Dogs; Sin City; Kill Bill amongst many others), Vincent Regan (The Bill; Hustle; Wild at Heart) and Paul Kaye (Shaun of the Dead; It’s all gone Pete Tong; aka Dennis Pennis) which is due for release in January 2010. The producer loved her so much he's writing Kellie a part in his next film.
Always on the go and with a sheer determination to succeed alongside a deep passion for music, Kellie taught herself to DJ, initially just for fun. This proved her natural talent and ability to master the technicalities involved and eighteen months on Kellie’s success is evident. She has DJ’ed in a range of exclusive clubs all over the world including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Miami, Chicago, Spain, Chamonix, London, Egypt, Moscow, Croatia, India, China, Kavos, London and many, many more. She is also the DJ of choice for many celebrity parties – so far she’s played for Neyo, Jenna Jameson, T-Pain and most recently, Lindsay Lohan. This particular event attracted a great deal of attention from the UK and worldwide press as it was reported that Kellie and her regular DJ partner Lauren Pope were requested by Lindsay to spin for her to get back at on / off girlfriend at the time Samantha Ronson. As a result, on a DJ trip to Miami Kellie was relentlessly followed by the paparazzi – further proof of her international recognition and success.
This career move has now become Kellie’s main focus due to the amazing success she has achieved. So much so, she has taken the next step up by producing and providing vocals on her own tracks. She has worked alongside some prominent producers and has signed one of her productions to a very well known and well respected record label. The track has already had great feedback from major record labels and is being held back so they can make it the track for the Miami Music Conference next year. This will be an exciting time for Kellie and her DJ career and will certainly put her ahead of the pack. In the meantime Kellie is working on more tracks that will be released in the next few months.
Kellie’s next major step is to conquer the American market. Having already played at LIV (at the Fontainebleau) in Miami, and Y Bar and Enclave in Chicago there are further plans to hit LA and Vegas in the New Year.
