Lucky Life - Resident




      BORN
      Durban, South Africa 1982 

      I started Djing way back in 1997, doing the odd house party for a friend before organizing school Disco’s where I made sure I was the DJ.

      My real break came on a night out to a club, when I started chatting with one of the dj’s and they said that the Dj that was    supposed to play in the VIP area got sick and couldn’t make it, and he asked if I would like to play? So luckily I lived quite close to the club and shot home to get my records. Back to the club, nervous as anything, but pulled off a brilliant set.

      The owners came up to me after that and offered me a full time dj position. Which at the time being only fifteen (and really not allowed to be in the club) to begin with, I had to turn them down. But it was the beginning for me.
      Slowly I built up a good reputation amongst fellow (Older) Dj’s and by the time I was sixteen I was a resident in Durban’s Biggest Night Club.

      As time went on though I started to diversify my music.
      I met a Dj who was in the corporate market, and decided to dj a few Gigs for him, although different from the big mad Club scene, I quite enjoyed it. Playing the radio top 40 hits and cheesy pop 80’s mix, to a select crowd of people.

      So as a direct off shoot from that, I started doing various weddings and birthday parties.

      As time moved on I managed to get various gigs from Clubs to weddings to corporate events, Which I thoroughly enjoyed, as it meant a constant change of music, From 80’s to Rock to the Top 40 Hits, and Dance.
      Of course my love for music grew, and I knew as School came to an end for me it was time to enrol in Colladge, Where I did a degree in Sound Engineering.
      Completing that in 2002.

      I sort of fell out of the Dj Scene as “Real Life “started.
      Still doing the odd wedding or corporate fuction every so often.

      Then in May 2005 I decided to head to the UK.
      Where I met up with some Fellow South African Dj’s that were playing at a club I used to Frequent. Following many conversations and many months of waiting, just wanting to play music for people again…. I finally got my chance in late 2005.

      I started Djing @ Zulu’s Bar in Fulham, and once again realised my love for playing music to people and just seeing how much they enjoyed themselves.

      Since then I have continued to Dj @ various other venue’s around London, Including Bar 366, Circle Bar, Zulus Fulham Zulu’s Leyton stone and GJ’s

      As well as doing some of my friend’s weddings and a 
      couple of corporate functions.

      As Time has moved on, I have now come to realise that my love for music had found a groove... and that grovve was house music!!! Since that day in Early 2006, I have become a Dance Dj. Playing Mainly Electro, and Tech House... and at times the odd bit of Funky, Jackin House!!!

      I don’t think I’ll ever manage to completely stop djing as the feeling I get as a dj, being able to get a smile on people’s faces and watch them sing along into the early hours of the morning is one of a kind “Absolutely Irreplaceable”
