Having originally studied Music Production, I began DJing in 2003, after buying a Pair of Direct Drive Turntables and spending most of my wages in some of Leeds record shops such as Therapy, Reflex & Crash.

Originally I had set out to play Hip Hop & R&B, however, being a regular raver in the Leeds Clubbing Scene I was introduced to the Bassline/4x4 sound by some friends who were up & coming DJs at the time. I would often attend some of the big monthly events such as HankyPanky @ Northern Light, Bass Factory @ Rehab & North vs Midlands @ Rios.

Soon, I found myself investing in Bassline & 4x4 vinyl from various shops in Leeds & via the internet. i would occasionaly make a mix CD but never try to promote myself, the sets werent coming my way.

As years passed, the scene had died down but the love for Bassline never went... people still had love for the Classic sounds of recent years, a lot of events would still play the Classics, fused with other sub Genres. This inspired me to never give up and keep pushing for sets. After playing a few parties at Pubs & Social Clubs, a friend, who was also a up & coming promoter, had started a weekly event  called Lush @ Bar Lingo. I would play there occasionally, mostly for Free, but I would see this as a starting step to gain confidence.

Then another friend had began a night originally in Bradford called Obsession @ Club Life... asking for DJs to play, so I decided to help out. This night was a success, for both me & the Brand. From that night on , the event  moved 'home' to Leeds, setting up base @ D-Fusion, originally this was set up on  a monthly basis, however the buzz surrounding the night led to the demand for a more regular slot. 1 year on, I still continue to deliver a cutting edge showcase of 'New Skool sounds, fused with the Classics that everyone knows and loves' & I have been ever present on the line ups, playing alongside some of the Best DJs in the North.

Nowadays, my sound is a mixture of Old Skool Bassline, Organs & a twist of New Skool Jackin' House.
