Biography:
I really hate chatting shit about myself but I've been threatening myself that Id try and I suppose most of you havn't known me for the 28 years I've been around so i'll give you a brief outline.... I love my friends, more so over the past twelve months. Certain things have made me realise how important my best buddies are! Randomness and General Banter is something that I love & its that sense of humour that it keeps me on my toes. Socialising, Clubbing, Djing etc etc makes me happy ....i'm not a crazy loon but I love to have fun & I've met some great people recently. My life is great @ the moment and I'd like to thank everybody I know for that :)
I was born in the wonderful year of 1980, June to be a bit more precise. Popping out in Warrington General Hospital in all my glory. I was described as a 'fucking massive' baby by my mum, who incidentally does actually love me even though I caused her great pain that she never seems to let me forget!Moved to Wigan at the age of 11....hated High School. Its sort of that time period that could be compared to Marmite's slogan. Met loads of great mates, some that I can still luckily class as close friends. I just hate those people that say "oooh id love to be back at school"... No you F***ing wouldnt, it was bollocks and dont lie haha.
College was a different story and i don't think I ever laughed as much in my life as I did those two years! Wont go into detail cos sometimes I bore myself so I'm not gonna put you throught the misery...i'm considerate like that.
Decided against university which i regret now....its not done me any harm professionaly but I wish i'd done it for the experience more than anything. I mean for christ sake I wish I could to do it now. I'd live off spam & jaffa cake sandwiches for three years, spend all my loan on ITV's 'The Mint' and finish with a 1st class degree in Masturbation.

DJing:
My passion for House Music started in 1997 while at College. I've been djing for over 10 years now and have been lucky enough over the past few years to turn a hobbie into something extremely rewarding. Self promotion, talent and determination gave me the opportunity to secure my first residency with house48 promotions in June of 2006. Since that time things do not look like slowing down. I have recently played for Miss Moneypenny's as part of their national tour programme and dj'd alongside the likes of Jeff Jefferson, Jenny Harrison and K-Klass, Mike Di Scala, Mark Knight and Sebastien Leger. plus tons & tons of great local & talented dj's including my good friend Eddie Regan, Richie Franklin, The FRAGILE boys Ben Jones & Jay Balmer to name but a few.
Played in most of the big Clubs in the North West and the majority of the smaller local bars & clubs in some of the local towns too....lost count to be honest so please dont ask me to list them haha.

Graphic Design:
Im also a dab hand @ Graphic Design and do alot of freelance work for local promoters and also the inhouse stuff for my own events. If anybody wants a flyer , poster or anything else knocking together then just give me a shout....i'll load up a gallery soon with samples of my work! (the flyers below are my handy work)
