My first real gig was when i was given a chance by JFK to play the back room at Passion in Coalville, I had been a clubber there for many years so it was a big deal for me. The gig went really well and it was then that I realised that i would dedicate my life and soul to achieving my dream. After various gigs up and down the country I decided to broaden my horizons by moving abroad to Kavos, Greece. I learnt alot during my stay, aswell as running my own night and holding down a residency at the biggest club on the island, Limelight, i also learnt valuable lessons on how to work a crowd. When I returned to the UK I was more ambitious than ever and started bombarding promoters with my demos. After alot of hard work and persistance I was booked to play at Gifted @ The Matrix in Reading followed by bookings for Slinky and various Miss Moneypennys dates around the country. My bookings were coming in fast when i was approached by Fuel in Birmingham to be there resident. Eventually i was looking after dj bookings and promotion and helped them establish themselves as a major brand before musical differences meant we parted company. This was exactly what i needed at the time to go back to my rootswith the sound i was trying to push as i was no longer restricted by music policy. After a previous tour date playing the back room at Ministry Of Sound I was booked to play in the bar alongside Futureshock which opened alot of doors for me. My Slinky dates were also going well at the Opera House (Bournemouth) and Creation (Bristol) when i was booked to play in the Hed Kandi arena at the Versus Festival. More recently I have played Godskitchen, Garlands @ eden, Ibiza, Retro and 2kinky. My journey so far has taken all over the uk and abroad and I am thankful i have had the oppurtunity to play alongside some of my heroes from Jazzy m to Lisa Lashes. I continue to push my own unique sound and 2006 saw my first release 'De Mentally Arranged' getting great reactions from a number of top names. I am just putting my finishing touches to my studio and plans to set up my own label are in motion. So as 2007 approaches I am more excited than ever. I hope you like my sound and look forward to seeing you all out there soon.
