BIO:
As a kid I used to always love the sound of a synthesiser. Due to family influence I was into electronic music from a very young age. I used to love everything from Genesis, to Jean Michelle Jarre, Kraftwerk and ELO – anything with a killer synth.
In the early 90’s I discovered dance music – house music to be precise. I spent all my waking time listening to house music. I would blag a mix on anybody's decks whenever I could until i finally bought myself 2 belt drive turntables to try and get my 4/4 beat fix - but it wasn’t long before I bought a set of Technics 1210’s and spent literally thousands of hours practising mixing and developing my own style.
As well as being an avid punter on the dance floor side of the decks at all the big nights, I got myself some gigs playing at free parties, festivals and nightclubs. Having spent nearly a decade Djing and putting on some of my own underground dance events, I naturally looked for a more creative outlet for my passion - writing and producing electronic music. 
I started experimenting in a friend’s studio back in the late 90’s and after discovering a natural talent; I studied sound engineering and music technology at Plymouth College to help develop my skills and knowledge of midi and synthesis. It was around this time that VST (virtual studio technology) began to take over the music industry and allowed a personal computer to produce the same kind of sounds that were only achievable by spending huge amounts of cash on hardware kit. 
I built my own studio computer and loaded it up with a whole array of virtual synthesisers and using the awesome power of Cubase, Reason, Logic Audio and Ableton; I am able to compose my own blend of electronica using all my musical influences.
I have worked on projects for Ian Van Dahl, the BBC and Sky television. I have worked with pinkpennyrecords.com and have releases out on iTunes, Beatport and all other major distributors. For all licensing enquiries, or if you are interested in booking me for any remixing projects or to DJ at an event then get in touch.
