Dj'ing for over 13 years now. Learning on a pair of Numark Vinyl decks in 2002. Back then Speed Garage, Bassline and Funky House tracks were what i bought and used to play. 

Around 2010 I was approached by the manager of a new bar in Birmingham called Purple Bar and started playing there Friday and Saturdays which projected my name across the Midlands quickly.
Since 2010 I’ve repeatedly played at The Rainbow, Nightingale Top Floor, So It Goes, Birmingham Pride Dance Arenas, Chic and Bushwackers. 
This year I played in Croatia and over the next few months i have been booked to play in Stoke, Stourbridge, Cheltenham and Nottingham. 

My style of music i would say now is House, Bass & Tech but i find it hard to categorise because i vary it up and a good beat is a good beat ha!

Production / Engineering wise I have worked with Thomas Graham, James Lowe (Development) and Jamie Vine. Janai (vocalist) has also featured on one of my tracks with Thomas Graham. August 2015 started producing and since then i have released an EP under the alias Ana Cole and my latest three tracks under Lisa Sharred have gained plays and support from TS7 on Kiss, Billy Kenny, DJ Q, Flava D and also been broadcasted on BBC WM Introducing. 
Was named Dappa from Rinse FMs artist spotlight of the week :)
