I decided to update my profile been pretty caught up of late. I could rant about all the stuff ive been up to, but I wont. Instead I thought I would take a more personal approach.
I’m a quiet guy from the Cape Flats with an amazing family. Born at Somerset hospital Pascal Pearce....used to really hate that name. We converted when my mom got married when I was 12.Changed my name because of the whole religion thing. We converted to Islam.
My schooling took place at Tafelsig Primary and High. We lived at this stage in Tafelsig Mitchell’s Plain.
We use to stay with my granny before (may she rest in peace)....if there is one person I would like to be. like it’s her. She was always gentle, caring and patient woman with us. My Mom says she wasn’t always like that. lol.
I have 4 sisters (Akifa, Feroza, Aysha ,Fatima) im smack in the middle. They are really good people and I mean it. My mom she is the most amazing person that I know and love her to bits. She always supported me in my endeavors and believed in me.
Even when I broke her heart when I moved out of home aged 20. Very abnormal thing for a "coloured" boy from the Cape Flats. I had my reasons and still feel that it had to be done.
As an individual I would describe myself as a nice guy surprisingly very easy person to get along with. I’m a very shy person so I hide allot.....whether behind the turntables, music, friends or the best defense the expressionless face. I looooooooooove dancing its great stuff dont be suprised if you see me losing my mind on the dance floor next to you
I love what I do but imp fast approaching a crossroads in my life.....the big 30. Well never thought past this point.....My hobbies include reading books, videogames, comic books...in short a real geek.
Djing balances out the geek ness though. I run two record labels and a promotion company with my friend although we haven’t made it official. We do events at this club called deluxe which coincidentally house my studio. Home away from home.
As an individual I desire to be the best at everything I set my mind to. I want to be the perfect father, dj, and parent......idealistic banter at most but this is what desire for me.
Ive been blessed as individual and thank everyone that has helped me on my journey.
My advice if you ever meet me be genuine and down to earth and we will get along fine. You will get the cold shoulder if you trying to flatter me to much. Makes me truly uncomfortable hence the cold shoulder. I have no time for socialites and fake people because I came from nothing and always use to be put down by snobbish kids. I use to have an arrogant streak in me as a teenager because I was a bit gifted academically and ive been working really hard as individual to not be like that. I must say it felt good that no matter whom you are and where you come from that your intellect and willingness to learn cannot be bought.
As a dj, producer and record label im doing ok not fabulous but comfortable. Im constantly searching for improvement in my world on all fronts.
I love star gazing....don’t do it enough. Not much of an outdoor person but I can be convinced by the right person. I draw my inspiration by the world around me. Because the relationships between those notes on a keyboard are linked and inspired by life.
As the song plays "Love is where you find it" I found love in what I do. It has brought me many hours of enjoyment and happiness.
I’m looking forward to my next step in evolution........shhhhhhhhhhh im keeping that one to myself.
Ive played many venues in my home town Cape Town and in some other cities in South Africa. The music has taken me as far as Bahrain and back.
That’s me in a nutshell.
