I make music for fun

➖Intro
When lockdown came into place I as many began missing the raves I once knew, one of my friends began dj-ing and I thought maybe I’ll give it a try! I then bought my first set of decks SB3’ and began to enjoy dj-ing myself through those long days and nights I progressed my style into predominantly House, Tech house and Disco. I later bought my second set of decks, Pioneer XZ’ which I still use to this day!

➖Where have I played?
Having played at Bars and Clubs across the UK and even making it to Kavos I now play at multiple venues! 
Some including the great Astoria Nightclub Portsmouth where I had my first gig, around 400 people came as it was for a Launch Party for the Ski Society and eventhough being very nervous beforehand it went perfect! I have played at lots of other venues during my time dj-ing including Moonshine Bar Portsmouth, Curiosity Bar Atherton, The Plaza Atherton, Golden Bee rooftop Bar- Shoreditch London, The Peacock Liverpool, The Lawn Club Manchester, The Box Manchester, Zaranda Bar Didsbury, The Bierkeller Manchester, Seven Brothers Manchester. The last two summers I have played in Kavos, Corfu (Greece) at different bars and nightclubs including Pulse Bar, Island Beach, Maddisons, and Venue Nightclub. 

➖Events 
I am working on more of my own events soon, my first event I organised was a night at The Yellow Sub in Liverpool.

➖Influences!
I have many influences in the music industry, one of my favourite artists is Michael Bibi, I love what he has achieved and done with Solid Grooves and how he has associated with different artists to showcase his style and form a family with different artists across the world within Solid Grooves. I love his sound and style and he really inspires me having been to his events! Another favourite artist for me is Armand Van Helden, I love the way he uses samples from previous tracks and gives them a modern twist. Some of my favourite songs include My My My, Wings, Anyway, and You don’t even know me which always get the party going! Some of my other influences are The Brothers Macklovitch ( Also part of A Trak and Chromeo I enjoy watching their sets. Another one of my favourite DJ’s is Joseph Capriati, I love how he uses effects to loop songs before the drops. 

➖What’s next! 
Now progressing to the future I am hoping to travel more and more and expand my DJ career further building my own events brand, playing at different unexpected venues for large crowds and producing my own tracks! I also have lots of ideas for remix’ so keep an eye out! I am working on my own upcoming event which is taking place in may and I am really excited for it!

Love and thanks for the support
