About Me

Started mixing garage music at a young age, loved the pumping basslines and the heavy beats, a good friend introduced me to funky house and my whole record collection changed into house tunes. As i learnt more about house music i found the type of tunes i like to play and listen to. Still had the influence from garage music as i went for tunes that had that energetic, pumping bassline with a good beat to match. I became a chef and this job takes up alot of my time so i didnt have the time to practice mixing and playing in clubs. I started making music instead, i found i could work on them at my own pace. Mixing was great fun and theres nothing like the feeling of people dancing and responding to a set that you are playing, but i get a better buzz from the response of people hearing and dancing to a tune that i have made. Im going to work as hard as i can to hopefully make people hear my music as i cannot see myself cooking for the rest of my life, it is a passion of mine but my passion for music is a hundred times stronger. I hope i can build up a fan base as big as the big-name house producers and i would love to work with any of them. I spent 6 months in Ibiza working as a chef out there and seeing how the big names do it. Loved every minute i was there, and hopefully i can go out there next time but not as a chef and a nobody. I know its hard to get into the industry and be a somebody, but i would appreciate any tips, advice and/or help to take me a step further.
