The musical heritage rests firmly on the shoulders of soul funk and disco.  In 1987 and at just 19 years of age he landed his first regular DJ gig at a local nightclub - ‘Oceans’ after standing in for a broken down DJ and soon afterwards was a regular face in some of the Saturday night parties.  News of his success soon got around, and it wasn't long before he was approached by nearby nightclub managers who offered him weekly slots and guest appearances.

From the start there has always been a little bit of soul.... then he branched out into the commercial side of dance music that still contained soulful influences from the likes of:- Louie Vega, Tony Humphries, Eric Morillo, Todd Terry and Danny Tenaglia, Terry Hunter, Leroy Burgess, Dennis Ferrer, MK, Copyright, Bimbo Jones and Cahill
