He first got the dj bug about 6years ago when sarah Sweeney showed him how to use a pair of decks, He started dj’ing in the infamous bar Flava , His dad Alan ’blue note’ turner was the manager of Flava at the time and Ryan had been glass collecting there since he was 13 so the soul music must of absorbed into him as it did with many other dj‘s that had passed through its doors, however he started of playing hip hop and over the years his musical style and influences gradually elevated into everything from dancefloor jazz, house, reggae, brokenbeat, afrobeat, disco, drum n bass and rare groove.
