Nick & i are both Painters & Decorators by trade & 10B15 is an off white colour, basically white! And when we were painting peoples homes that's what they chose, so no imagination when using colours . Nick was a musician & when i got back from the UK after been away for 8yrs we hooked up as a DJ team & i introduced him to some Techno & House beats, back in 98 - 2000 in Whanganui. He sadly passed away a few years back. 😢😢 Because Carl Cox is into his road bikes he comes to Whanganui to watch the annual street race (cemetery circuit) & DJs in a local bar on the side. Who would Know??? & here he is with Nick. Hope you understand that long winded story?

Whanganui Whānau. "Not all about your technical ability, it's about the Tunes".- Carl Cox. RIP Nick.

JARV’s lifelong love affair with music has deep roots, sprouting in the ‘70s influenced by six older siblings always spinning tunes.  Festivals have been a crucial part of his fabric since his first taste at Sweetwaters ‘83.  JARV’s sets reflect his broad musical palette, recreating his journey from  the reggae-infused snow and surf of Whanganui via the psychedelic experience of cave living in India and the melting pot that was the exploding dance culture of early ‘90s London. Now based in Tāmaki Makaurau, JARV's experimentation across music’s multiple genres continues to evolve. He knows how to party and how to bring the party.

**"For me, AccessDenied isn’t just a name – it’s a feeling. It’s about all those moments in life when you try to break through, but something invisible holds you back. I write music to push past that wall. My songs aren’t perfect — they’re raw, vulnerable, and alive — just like me. Every beat is a thought I couldn’t say out loud, every drop is a breath I’ve been holding for too long.

AccessDenied is my outlet and my rebellion. I blend the electronic with the human, the dark with the hopeful. I want people to feel free to be broken, angry, happy, or everything at once. Because in the end, it’s not about escaping reality — it’s about facing it with open eyes, and letting the music speak when words can’t."**
— AccessDenied

House & Techno lovers since the 90s, just to share good vibes 😉

When I was six years old, my dad asked what I wanted for my birthday. I said, “A harp, Daddy… please!” He came back with a second-hand acoustic guitar, two strings short of a full set. It wasn’t quite what I asked for but it was love at first strum. I still remember my early lessons, proudly plucking away with four strings, utterly enchanted by the noise I could make (much to my parents’ dismay!).

That’s where it all began, a lifelong love affair with sound. Over the years, I picked up more instruments, found my voice, and embraced singing as a natural extension of the noise-making I never quite grew out of. I had some classical training in both piano and singing. though I’ll admit, I never stuck with it long enough to be a true virtuoso. I also became obsessed with Stars in Their Eyes, auditioning as Patsy Cline (cringe!).

My first original song was written for a variety show while I was studying performing arts. It wasn't a masterpiece, but it was mine and a fun song which made the audience laugh. The start of something I didn’t even realise I was meant to do. It wasn’t until a lecturer told me, “You have to write songs,” that I started taking it seriously.

Since then, I’ve had a few proud moments with local radio features, making the final of the UK Open Mic competition and one terrifying one: performing at the O2. (Let’s just say my stage fright prefers my home studio.) These days, you’ll most likely find me lost in that little creative haven, surrounded by instruments, half-finished songs, and cups of tea gone cold.

I may not have a harp, but I do have music and that’s more than enough.

With the exception of a few collaborations, all songs are written, performed and produced by me.  

Grateful beyond words for everyone who listens, likes, comments, and reposts my music. You’re the real MVPs who keep me going!
