Trance Music Producer and DJ Trance Remix Artist

Based in Leicester, UK, DJ Sonarm is an uplifting Trance music producer and Trance DJ who started his career in 1999, the pinnacle of the Trance music genre. After being drawn into the genre since then, he continues to persue his passion for Trance music by getting inside the genre and producing his own music.

After gaining a diploma in Music at Leicester College, Sonarm has since progressed massively, not only in his musical ability and knowledge, but also launching himself and his music into the industry and is moving closer step-by-step to fulfilling his dream.

Now regularly compared to Trance producers and DJs such as Tiësto, Push, Ferry Corsten, Kai Tracid, Mirco de Govia and Paul Van Dyk, DJ Sonarm has his work cut out for him to live up to expectations and produce euphoric tracks that will tear through the clubs as many other artists and producers have successfully achieved.

Dubbed a "modern day magician in computer music production" by business TV channel ExpertsOnline.tv after they conducted an interview with him, DJ Sonarm is set to reside among the top UK Trance producers with his musical talent and creativity.

His music is set to be broadcast by SkyTV and in the past has also been used on adverts and continues to draw interest from people of many backgrounds, influences and musical upbringings.
