Karl is a born and bred Brummie with over 10 years DJ'ing experience within the UK. His early career saw him playing local bars and clubs within Birmingham, Worcester and Nottingham. In his early days his preferred genre of music was vocal house, electro and speed garage but as his experiences have grown so has his music style but his love for house music has always remained! 

His experiences of playing alongside world renowned DJs and musical artists sparked his enthusiasm to venture more toward the bass driven / EDM sound which secured him warehouse bookings nationally. 

More recently he has taken the plunge into production. This is something he has always been working on in the background. He has now found his calling with his new track ‘Open up to you’ it demonstrates the progression and development of his sound and style.
