About Me

I began Deejaying at the age of 13, messing arround with old skool Hip Hop and breakes. I played a few times down the medicine bar in Birmingham before making the change over to UK Garage.It was then I met up with local promoter who took me on as resident at his night. It was here I began my promotion work as I got on the road helping to orginise gigs in Birmingham city centre.After this I went on to work with a coupple of promotions teams, I helped to promote nights we had orginised including €˜The Black and White Ball€™ and €˜Seduction€™. My next jump was over to Drum & Bass, as I felt the once strong growth of the UK G scene had started to fizzle. I picked up on my love of D&B and moved, it was then that I decided it was time to have a go at my own promotions and came up with two nights that went down realy well. Since then I have been playing arround on the scene while starting up my own business.

My Interests

     

Music:

My love of music has been the drive of my life...Through my love of mixing I discovered Drum & Bass, but my influences were definitely otherwise...I grew up listening, mainly, to my Mothers influences. She was a Soul and Reggae DJ around the B'ham circuit, and would always be playing to me at a young age. My tastes reflected strongly towards Reggae, which was also influenced by my Dad, who was a mentor for some very successful artists including UB40 and Robert Palmer. Between the two of them I covered a wide genre of music including soul, blues, reggae, rock & roll, and even my very fist taste of hip hop...At the age of 13 I got my first set of turntables and began mixing with a friend, who was already a key figure in the old skool hip hop scene. I managed to get a few gigs in the city and began to develop my own style mixing with a range of hip-hop, breaks and reggae.
