Bio- started off in 2008 when I was 13, got my first ever set of decks (numark dj in a box) for Christmas and spent every bit of pocket money for the following year on vinyl. Basically became part of the furniture in force ten records haha! A year later I done my first ever event – the nrg project under 18s and shortly after that got my first pair of technics (which I still own to this day).

After finishing school I went to study live sound, events management and music production at Gateshead college for 3 years, finishing in 2013.

Around about that time I started getting booked for the big makina events at the age of 18 and spent almost every weekend doing events all over the north east,

In 2017 I got given the opportunity to be involved in the deviation competition in blackpool(winner got on a lot of sanctuary events) … ended up winning and performed in blackpool and wigan for the next few months.

By this point I had totally sacked off makina and focused on bounce music (which was rising from the ashes in the north east especially my hometown of newcastle.

Got booked by Richy for the first time in 2017 for ministry of bounce at cosmic ballrooms, the following year he made me a resident of the brand. 

Now he’s got a brand that can sell out any club he’s put us in, crazy how far he’s pushed it! 

2022 I had one of the biggest opportunities presented to me when richy asked me if I wanted to play for the biggest bounce brand on the planet – BTID and to top it off it was in Ibiza ! 

That was one mental week to say the least haha! 

Been keeping my head down the last few years only focusing on mainly working for the brand when it comes to where I DJ, and it’s massively paid off to say the least so far.

Don’t plan on stopping this journey any time soon either !
