LONDON BASED PARTY/EVENTS DJDJ BIOGRAPHY...Prince Nelly is a unique talent from the East London school of DJs. His uplifting and nostalgic blend of club music from all eras makes him the perfect party player. 80s pop, 70s New York disco and 90s classic house - along with contemporary dance and RnB, make up his polished musical palette.With a particular bias towards the 80s, Prince Nelly progressed from presenting his own shows on Hospital Radio to becoming resident of the Trash Room of Popstarz in 2001. Here he honed his skills in playing unpretentious pop, which led to other gigs in and around London, such as Wig Out and Radio Egypt.Off the back of this success, Prince Nelly launched his own night: Retro Chart Rundown - a retro chart show, self-hosted in Shoreditch’s George & Dragon. Press leapt on the concept with articles appearing in such diverse titles as i-D, Time Out, The Guardian, Jockey Slut, Metro and the Sunday Times.Prince Nelly has since created the occasional old skool house party, House Arrest, and a personal tribute to his love of the 70s disco scene,
A Night In New York. Prince Nelly has guested at Golf Sale, High Fidelity, My Salsoul, Heaven, Don't Call Me Babe, Paparazzi, Pop!, Deep Disco Culture, Kitts, Lo-Profile, The Egg, the Loft (Clapham) and more regularly at Geek! and Sean Rowley’s Guilty Pleasures at KOKO in the Erection Section room. His previous residencies include The Green, Tea Dance and Profile.Aside from his club commitments, Prince Nelly also plays private events.

For London Fashion Week, he has played for both Erdem and Selfridges, whilst providing the music for Andrew Majtenyi's Spring/Summer 2008 show. Prince Nelly has supplied in-store music for Mulberry stores nationwide and also for fashion shoots by the likes of John Akehurst. He was commissioned by i-D to record a special mix of personal favourites, which can be heard on the i-DJ section of their website. He has also been photographed by Nick Knight for i-D as part of the George & Dragon DJ collective.What sets Prince Nelly apart from the pack is his ability to cover a wide range of genres in his sets, guaranteeing a satisfied crowd.
