Constantly DJing along side legends such as Graham Park, Allister whitehead, judge jules, Eddie Halliwell, Danny Rampling, k-klass and Tall Paul.

Over the years, Daz has also spent some time in a recording studio working with a friend under their Guise "The Loverats." In total he has released four tracks, two signed in the UK, one signed in Canada and one signed in Holland. 

3 years ago, things for Daz went off the scale when he and close friend hooked up with the owners of "Goodgreef" and launched their own multi genre dance music festival, "The Gathering Fest". 
Launching with a sell out crowd, the event was nominated for multiple awards from Skiddle.com and the UK Festival Awards.
Because of the success of "The Gathering fest" Daz's bookings are coming in fast, with shows already played of late for monster brands such as CREAM, MAMBOS and REZERECTION. On top of this, Daz has been back in the studio with more new material due to be released soon.

The Genes passed down from my Mother’s parents are a blessing. Granddad was an amazing pianist, Grandmother an exceptional vocalist. My Sister played flute and recorders. Myself, well, I pretty much have tried many instruments however we all have a path, a journey...

I started playing drums and percussion aged 7 years old, progressing as principal drummer and percussionist achieving Grade 8 percussion, timpani, vibraphone and drum kit with The Trinity College of Music, London
At the age of 11, my mother showed me middle C on the piano at home and away I went, learning and creating
An acoustic guitar was purchased at the age 13. When I was 15, with school friends we formed a band. Too many guitarists I decided to take up the bass guitar 

Aged 17 I moved to Newcastle and attended Newcastle College gaining a BTEC National Diploma in Popular Music and a Higher National Diploma in Jazz, Popular and Commercial Music. I was initially a drummer however with 10 drummers on the course and only 4 bass players I switched to playing bass guitar full time
My first 2 years in Newcastle I worked at Legends Wine Bar and Bliss Nightclub as bar support During my break at Bliss Nightclub I jammed away on my bass guitar in the back room with the DJ’s Phil Brown (Bless) & Darren Laws plus MC Randy Dread at Shindig on Thursday evenings

Year 3 in Newcastle I joined 8 piece soul group The JJ Clark Band performing the UK cover band circuit. We switched our attention to original music and signed a recording and management deal. A 4 Track EP followed. recorded and produced by John Turner who produced the like of Deacon Blue, The Cocteau Twins, Prefab Sprout and Runrig. He was also an amazing keyboardist playing with the likes of The Walkers Brothers and had this amazing Hammond organ with an original Leslie speaker which can be heard on the tracks The EP also features his then wife Ann Turner on Backing Vocals

The Crosby Brother, a 4 piece Rock n Roll band was my next musical venture. Auditioning in front of the bands manager Chas Chandler (Bless) was probably my most nervous experience.

“It’s the bass player from The Animals and former manager of Jimi Hendrix and Slade…” I thought to myself!

Further musical projects followed... Liveriot, The Maker, Recruit and The Kaleidoscope Project

I learned how to DJ from amazing Newcastle Dj Friends... 
The late (bless) Phil Brown (Legends / Bliss) Tony Hutchinson and Andy Horsefield (Legends) Scott Bradford and Scooby (Shindig) Darren Laws (Fat City) Steve Butler (Southport Weekender) DJ Smoove (Smoove & Turrell) albeit a Mackem hahaha and ‘For Those Who Know’ my good friend and fellow Newcastle Po Na Na & Hull Fez Club partner in crime DJ Kenzi (Arena) 

A move to Europe’s mainland living in Austria I Dj’d in Ski Resorts Mayrhofen, Zell am Ziller, Soelden and St Anton. During my travels I  had further DJ sets in Finland, Sweden, Germany, France, Greece, and the UK

2020 I will again be spreading my wings like doves to bring my musician and DJ experience, skills, positivity and energy to the world
