I was born March 4 1982, most of this time i spent growing up in Blacktown, Seven hills and Lalor Park. From the age of 4 i went to Lynwood Park Primary School. At this school, I met one of my best mates, Matty D.
Matty and I spent many MANY lunch times (in year 4), on detention, for lookin up girls skirts LOL....aaaah the memories!! ;pI also played Soccer for my school as goalie and then in 1990 i started playing rugby league for the Lalor Park Kookaburra's.
I started at Blacktown Boys High School in 1993 and this is where I met some great guys who to this day are really special to me. They were Chaps, Mark, Adam, Jason, Geoff, Daniel, Cory, Geno and David (Loco). These guys have gone on to mold me into the person that I've become today and I cant thank them enough :)
I graduated from high school in 1999 and played football again. This time for Toongabbie Tigers and we ended up winning the premiership which was a great way to finish off the year and all my time I had spent at school!!
My love for dance music began many moons ago with high energy and I used to go to places such as Berry St Tavern @ North Sydney, Daily Planet @ Penrith, Carmens @ Miranda and X-site @ Parra Leagues Club.
It wasn’t until 2001 - 2002 when I started going to Gas nightclub in Sydney on a regular basis, my love for Hard Dance was formed.
In 2002, I picked up my first record at a mates house one night when we were getting ready to go out. From that one night, I was hooked and begun to fed my vinyl addiction at Ideal Records in Penrith.
I have been mixing for 4 years now and have only recently felt confident enough to regularly grace the decks of a nightclub.
This has led to regular sets playing at Sydney’s Sorted Sundayze (thank you guys for having belief in my ability), Basecode and also Sydney’s famous Daydreams. I have had the pleasure of also playing alongside DJs such as Yoshi, Dave Joy, Suae, Trevor McLachlan, Steve Hill, DLX and Keely.
Hopefully, 2007 will enable my skills and crazy stage antics to been seen at even more venues around Sydney and Interstate.

Being good friends with the Founder and Promoter of Global Panic has also helped my djing, as this has allowed me to work with and become friends with people such as Phil York, Technikal and Gaz West.
This in turn has led to them giving me tunes well before their release date, to not only help me stand out from the others, but also allow them to get their tunes out, and hopefully boost record sales.
Some of my biggest influences from Oz would have to be Yoshi, Mickey D and Steve Hill. Those guys have paved the way for the UK sound in Sydney. Without those guys I don’t think I’d have this type of love, for this style of music.
From the UK, it would have to be Phil York, Technikal, Dark By Design, Jason Cortez, MDA & Spherical, Adrenaline Dept, Olly Perris, the old BK, Andy Whitby (for all his old skool CDs with the classic bounce) and Edison Factor, those guys rock!
There’s so many, that I could go on for hours.
When im not playing out i find that there’s nothing more enjoyable than having a few beers and mixing at home with my mates.
