About Me

Music has always played a major part of my life. Having the talent to touch people's lives musically with sheer passion is a true blessing and I give thanks to the Almighty Father for blessing me with this precious talent.
As a DJ and music lover, I believe that music should be played with feeling, emotion and passion and not as a fashion thing.
My musical styles range from Reggae Dancehall, Lovers Rock to Nu Soul, Classic Soul, Rare Groove and seductive Slow Jams. I have been collecting music for over 20 years.
I got my first break DJing as a Selector on a sound called Hardway Immortal Disco from Nechells, Birmingham in 1993. I have also had opportunities playing at Wedding Receptions and parties.
One of the biggest and most memorable events I have ever played was at Ipanema in Birmingham City Centre when I was DJing for my sister, Julie Dexter. An experience which will always be treasured.
