About Me


I was born in 1969 and grew up in Croydon, South London. I studied fashion after leaving school and worked for a while in the industry until i fell into DJing. This career change saw me travel the world and DJ under the name Jon Pleased Wimmin between 1990-1998 whilst releasing 2 top 30 records on Warner Brothers Music. In 2000 i moved to Edinburgh and have just graduated with First Class Honours from a BA (Hons) Degree in Popular Music,which i studied at Napier University .For my final project i wrote and produced a kids musical, if you're interested, you can check out the profile i've created for it and watch some video clips and hear some of the songs -www.myspace.com/wholethemusical . I am now working on various musical projects and collaborations so keep coming back for new material. cheers x
