About me? Well, I'm not just a one trick pony, - I believe in presenting and playing the music I love in an alternative funny original way - I like to entertain my audience with something new and hit them with a suprise when they least expect it rather than waiting for them to die of boredom from listening to the same shit different day boring format. I'm sick of the same old big mac n fries media served up all the time - celebrity tosspot, celebrity asswipe, reality tv, ugh. I am passionate about creating things to make people happy, dance and laugh - seeing people enjoy my work exceeds everything of me - it's where I'm in my element. I love playing music that brings out all the uplifting emotions that beg the question - "Can I have 2 bottles of Evian please". I started off in a Journalistic way - then music took over - now it's comedy and music to an extent - I dont do just one thing.Music is life - simple as that, it's all about emotions and making you feel things, I couldn't imagine life without it. I love funky sexy disco house music, uplifting house and trance that gives you those special 3am memories. I love classical music with soaring emotive melodies that make your spirits soar and inspire you when you feel like just giving up and crying. I love finding and disovering new releases from new producers and labels that move me and take them to a new audience.I love music, I love comedy,I love my nearest and dearest people and being with and meeting new exciting, inspiring people and characters who have good hearts and personalities, sense of humour is a must, people on the level, people whos heart is in the right place, people with good karma.Even more so, I love dogs, I love playing music, I love learning to play piano, I love having special nights out but chilled out ones too with my mates and loved ones.

My Interests

Music, Comedy, Sport - learning new things - meeting new people from all different walks of life :)
