Artist Statement
I am a DJ, AV Engineer & producer from the South West UK, known for genre-bending sets connecting a wide range of styles. Whether it’s high-energy Drum & Bass or a full-spectrum ‘90s throwback, my performances weave together Soul, Hip-Hop, Metal, Dub, World, Chart & more—always finding links between genres.
With over 25 years of experience in DJing & event promotion, I’ve built a reputation for supporting grassroots artists & bringing fresh talent into my sets. As a director of a 300-cap music venue in Frome for a decade, I’ve played an active role in my local scene, helping artists grow & creating space for live music to thrive.
Beyond DJing, my background in live sound, lighting & DJ equipment repair gives me a strong technical edge, allowing me to fine-tune performances & create the best possible experience. But at the end of the day, it’s about having fun—I’m here to bring good energy, not take things too seriously.
In a world full of stress, music is an escape. My goal is simple: to set the mood, lift the energy, & give people a reason to enjoy the moment.
