bio

I must admit, my whole life has revolved around music. I remember when I was 2, my mum would be listening to the radio having breakfast, and I heard George Benson being played. From that day onwards, I was hooked. I loved the way music made me feel and I wanted to spread that feeling to everyone else....

At first I wanted to be a singer, guitar player, saxophonist etc etc. I actually got a chance to do all these things, but never really stuck it out.

In the late eighties - early nineties discovered electronic dance music. At first I wasn't too keen on this type of music, but over the years it grew on me. Back then when the Rave/Techno/Dance scene in Adelaide was in it's glory days, I started getting into DJ'ing.

For a while myself and a few mates bought some cheap belt drive turntables, practicing away in the garage hours on end. It wasn't until we met up with the owner of Sugar Shak Records (Now defunct) we finally got our break.

Thanks to him, I manged to play at my first big dance party which was Electronic Wilderness. From then onwards I got regular gigs across Adelaide and managed to play at the Big Day Out in 2001.

I still DJ every Friday night at the Royal Oak in North Adelaide playing to a more subdued crowd from 11:30pm - 2:00am. If you're in the neighbourhood, drop in, chillout and enjoy the beats!!

I still love my music and always will.
