My first successful track, Jackin, was signed to Play Recordings in 2002. Jackin was played by many DJs including Sasha, Danny Tanaglia, Steve Lawler, Xpress 2 and Tom Stephan and received glowing reviews by Lottie who played it on her Radio 1 show and charted it at number 1 in her personal chart for February 2002. She also cited me as a new face to look out for live on Radio 1.

I was then signed to Low Pressings with tracks such as, Jungle Runner and Better Way. The track was a hit with all top DJs and got to number 7 in the cool cuts countdown.
I also teamed up with House of 909’s front man Nigel Casey to form E.F.F, making tracks called Back in the Jungle, Infidel and Downtown, which were featured on mix compilations for NRK and had great support from Xpress 2 and Peace Division.

In 2003, I teamed up with Rob Jay of 3 Beat Records and formed MIRABEAU and set out on their first debut single entitled Brass Disc which was snapped up by Seamus Haji for Big Love Records and supported by many leading DJ's and was featured twice on Pete Tong’s Essential Selection.

Our next single, Back from Outer Space was again played by Tong, which led to Italy’s hottest label Oxyd, jumping at the chance to sign it. 
It became number #1 in the Buzz chart and #3 in the hype chart.  
It also became one of the Top 5 Ibiza anthems of 2004. 
It had an amazing 6 plays on Radio 1 and the award of Pete Tong’s essential new tune. 

All Around The World signed the track, and instantly licensed it for compilations including Hed Kandi and Clubland 6. Hed Kandi also licensed another track called Ghetto Funk for their Disco Heaven compilation.

I was also working on an offshoot project named Hydroponix, with a track titled Don’t Stop, Go. It was signed to Sander Kleinenberg’s label, Little Mountain Records.
Its debut play came on Sasha & Digweed’s Essential mix broadcast live from Renaissance on Radio 1. It then made its second play on the Essential mix from Creamfields by the legendary Deep Dish.

Following this success came two tracks signed to Forensic, Houston Calling and Inner Love, which had plays from Sasha and Steve Lawler to name but a few.

Most recently, I have been working in the studio with Mike Discala on various projects including a track called Space and Time, which has had remixes from Deadmau and Jerry Repero. The track was also played by Tiesto, Pete Tong and Sasha amongst others.
