Biography
I started DJ-ing in the bedroom at the age of 13 following in my brother, Nick's footsteps. After learning how to beat mix for a number of years I finally got round to starting my own record collection at the age of 16. My first record, a classic, Alison Limerick - "Where Love Lives". The collection grew and grew and I finally got the break into a local club, age 19 at The Purple Onion in Middlesbrough - a compact underground funky house club! The gig went well and the club promoter booked me again a couple of months later.
Things went from strength to strength and I was asked to play along with my brother Nick as a resident. Gigs such as The Empire 'sugarshack' were then added to my diary.
I also got asked to play at an old skool classics night named the 'Meltdown'. This involved me playing with some of the best DJ's and International P.A's such as Abigail Bailey, Tom Novy, Duke, Shades of Rhythm and Rozalla etc. I was then given the chance to play in Ibiza for the first time in 2006. Coastline Cafe and Plastik bar were the venues and these nights added to my most memorable so far.
Since Ibiza, work at the Onion continued along with the occasional Meltdown night, playing at local venues like Basement, Dickens Inn, Lava & Ignite and The Empire. Added to my list of venues is Trinity Rooms in Limerick, Ireland which I sincerley enjoyed and also in Ibiza in June 2007 in the bars - Hush, Kanya, Plastik and the world famous club Eden where I played with DJ's such as Jon Ulysees & Danny Graham!
After meeting and playing with DJ's like Steve Mac, Seamus Haji, Pete Gooding, Kate Lawler, Hoxton Whores, Chris Lake, Grant Nelson, Rob Wilder and even local professional footballer and friend Stewart Downing, things suddenly changed! I now work in the new Harvey's late bar in Middlesbrough which has taken off like a storm. World famous 'Pukka Up' (DJ's Rob Wilder & Tim Fannucci)have recently joined us for their first appearence in Middlesbrough which was unbelieveable and more is to come from these guys! Pukka Up have since returned the favour and I played at Pacha, London warming up for 'Just Jack' in February, doesn't get much better than that!! Recently added to the list of top DJ's i've had the pleasure to play with include the Wonderful Suzee X, Jason Herd, Jon Fitz & K Klass with many more to come!!
Im also resident at Onyx in Middlesbrough for a night ran by Ten Feet Tall caled 'Play'.
Ibiza 2008 took me to another level playing for Pukka Up at Es Paradis whilst also working for 'Ibiza Residents' at Plastik, Hush & Opium. Check my pics out!!
Look out for my future gigs in Ibiza in 2008 and also catch me around the country!!
