Born in the center of London and growing up in the multicultural area, Shepherds Bush.

Soul, Motown, Funk, Disco, Rock and Pop were all apart of his upbringing and his love for energetic electronic music came around 1992 in the form of Acid House and Rave from the likes of Prodigy and Altern 8.

Finding himself still glued to the radio, Pete Tong’s Essential Selection and Mix show fuelled his then new found love of House and underground dance music. This coupled with the concept of a DJ performing this music live created a fascination with the associated technologies and massive desire to have a go. Living with family in the more rural plains of Norfolk he went from performing at pubs, clubs and outdoor parties to finding himself in Ibiza where he has performed most of the bars and clubs including Cafe Mambo’s, Savannah’s, Bar M, Amnesia, Space, Privilege and Pacha. Over the 8 summer’s living there he successfully built a great contact base performing on radio stations, Sonica and Cadena, winning DJ competitions with MTV and being apart of and performing at infamous villa and Cave Rave parties. Playing for Carl Cox’s night ‘Revolution’ in the El Salon and the Red Box for ‘We Love’. Space nightclub and the more underground DC10 became regular hot spots for clubbing and DJ’ing.
