Where you're from?
I've lived in alot of places, I grew up in Melbourne till i was
16, went to the UK for 2 years, then settled in Sydneys Northern
Beaches in 1993, but now i live in Brisbane, and rock the tunes
from Coffs Harbour to Brisbane!!
How did you started DJ'ing?
I have been playing since the early days of Absolute Infinity in
Sydney back in 1993. I walked into my local nightclub, got talking
to a young Tim Densley and by the end of the night he had offered
to teach me how to DJ, as well as some work to get me started.
Since then, I have Dj'd all over Sydney, at Clubs, Pubs and even
on radio, as well as the snow fields of Perisher for a season,
Surfers Paradise, Brisbane, Melbourne and back in the U.K.
Who are your influences?
I have had alot of different influences in my DJ career, but the
main one would have to be Tim Densley, he taught me not just how
to DJ, but how to read a crowd, how to promote myself, as well as
about the industry im in, past and present. He's still teaching me
to this day...its hard trying to keep up with the old guy, he has
the energy of a teenager!!
What genre of music to you play
and your DJ style? I specialise in all styles of
music! Over the last 19 years, i have played 70's & 80's Retro
clubs, High profile city Dance clubs, R&B nights, weddings, school
discos and corporate functions, and they have all had one thing in
common, I have made sure i get the crowd up and dancing and having
an awesome time.....no matter what the style of music. There's
nothing like making people's nights, watching everyone have a
great time and dancing and knowing its cause they're enjoying the
music you're playing... especially when your mixing a Dance or
R'n'B set and the crowd screams when you drop in a bangin
tune....i love it! But my favourite style to play is House and
dance music in general.
Accomplishments or points of
interest: Theres been so many over the years, but
i guess that the main one would be that after nearly 20 years of
DJing, i still DJ like i did when i was younger....i still have
the same enthusiasm when im playing, i still dance around in the
Dj box to my favourite songs...i just love what i do...its not
even a job to me.
Latest projects and direction:
Im currently playing at Envy @ Broadbeach, I alternate between the
R&B room where im playing new & old skool R&B from the 90's till
now and the Dance room, where im playing a wide variety of dance
music. But in the past, I have played at venues such as, Mona Vale
Hotel, Surf Rock Hotel, Ivanhoe Hotel @ Manly, Patricks @ Pennant
Hills Tavern, Star City Casino, Home NightClub, Dragonfly, DCM
NightClub, Kings Cross Hotel, Club Retro @ Bristol Arms Hotel and
Shelbourne Hotel just to name a few.
