In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. - Albert Camus,

I’m a Perth based DJ who’s love of music has been a lifelong passion. Growing up in a household where music was playing from dawn til dusk, whether it was Rock’n’Roll, Northern Soul, Disco, Motown and everything in between I was exposed to it and loved every bit of it. My big love in the 90’s was R’n’B - Hip Hop with house music being a natural progression. Been lucky to have played gigs @ Perths longest running club Geisha, RTRFM Looney Choons Show, Seabreeze Promotions, Little Stiller, Boat Parties, Pirates Of Perth & more. Still loving all those genres and mixing them has never grown old and the passion keeps growing so if you love music as much as me jump on board and enjoy
