MUSIC IS THE DRUG!!! It has the power to move us, shake us...unite us together. Its a reason to be alive. Its what I live for...I was born, grew up and have lived in Accrington, East Lancs, for my whole life. I have always been interested in music since being young. At 15 I got my first set of decks (still got them some where!) and I took it upon myself to collect the sounds of Scouse and Bouncy House, Classic Trance and House for the main! I loved it and played a few nights locally for the old "Larde' Dars" night club and at private functions. By the time I was 18 I started looking more towards what trance had to offer!

I turned my beconing ear to the sound of Dj JFK, I was 18, In Magaluf and attending my first proper trance night. From that point on...That was it. I began to collect pouring time, interest and money into my new found passion for the music. Attending nights up and down the length and breadth of the country and abroad. Discovering new styles of music from Dirty Electro to Minimal Tech and Progressive House aswell as all styles of TRANCE! Seeing everyone, Loving it and taking it all on board I began to yearn to play again...to get myself at a level:

2008 saw my return to playing again, having guests appearences locally in Blackburn for Barlife. In 2009 I was given the opportunity to appear in a warm up slot for DazedFM at their Ultrafunkula night at Rawtenstall`s Rhythm Station Nightclub which lead to multiple bookings. As my confidence and experience grew I began to push myself, I entered a competition to play at Fusion Burnleys Glitz Room for the night Tech:No. My entry gained me that right!!! I Played Several Times for them, recieving excellent feedback each time. Trance Being my main orientation I persued my goal to play. I was given the opportunity to play for up and coming superbrand Digital Society at its home of Myhouse nightclub, Leeds back in May, Again recieving brilliant feedback, being noted for having my own style. Sharp, Lively mixes and the ability to flip the set on its head time and time again! This got me a mention by Harry Fowler (Ds Invitation host) as one of the stand out acts of the year in an online interview, Gaining me another booking for the Invitation Main room event in December! With the Industry starting to take notice, I was offered my first residency for the new trance night Elevate @ Club Halo in Warrington. My first apperance will be 30th October and on the last friday of each month with resident DJ Mike Rawlinson and a host of new and established trance talent!!!
