How long have you been DJin?

I started buying dance music about 15 years ago, and I've been periodically buying ever since, this usually depends on whatever the latest seen is

Influences

My biggest influence was a DJ called Shaun Scott, I even contemplated naming my 1st born son after him at one point, well that was if i ever got round too having any!!!!!!! The reason he influenced me so much was the way he just took a crowd and sent it skywards, he would quite litterally blow them away, within the 1st twenty minutes of his set, this is something I try and do, even now, with the sets that i play.

Hobbies and Intrests

Music obviously but Im also into football, cooking, diy and socialising ;)

Highlights and Low Lights

There are so many highlights, starting pride, starting cosmopolitan, the first time I trained the kids i work with in sheffield, the day I learned that one of my students, had been accepted into Red Tape studio's, on an apprentaship's course, The low points were realising that you cant trust everybody (you know who you are) and the day it dawned on me, that alot of the time, it doesn't matter if your actually talented or not, its usually who you know :(

Future Ambitions

I never really get chance, to sit down and think, that far in front. I'l have to say that i would love Pride, too go mainstream and become Britain's biggest club, watch this space!

Favourite and worst DJ

Well my favourite DJ will be obvious, the above mentioned Shaun Scott, and no, it isn't the one on galaxy ha ha ha. I couldn't begin to write about the worst, if I did, I would become everything I never wanted to be.

Favourite Club

Two words for you, The Niche, not the new version where The Uropa used to be, or the new version called Vibes, the classic Sydney Street venue, its a shame that it got shut down, but all good things come to an end, don't they?

I've posted 11 comments, I've not posted in the live-chat yet, and I've been spotted 4 times.
