About Me

Is this the bit where I tell you how great I am? .... fraid not! I'd rather let others tell you about me while I just sit and nod my head and comment with the occasional "Yep!" every now and again.Born and bred in Hitchin, Herts the home of real music and the place I will always remember. I've been a hip hop fanatic since the age of 16 and have literally been there and seen it for all aspects of this great culture with many many years of history under my belt as others will testify. DJ, Producer, Graffiti Artist, Breakdancer, Beat collector.... "Yep!" done it all. Always going back to dabble in the music and beat collecting is my favorite past time so maybe you'll see some of my tunes on here one day.Currently I am heavily involved in the UKG which is part of the 501st starwars costuming group, I go all over the place dressed as a stormtrooper helping the gang raise plenty of money for charity, I do this with my wife Yvonne and also my daughter Jo who is also a stormtrooper.There's plenty more to add but i'm all typed out at the moment so trip back later
