How long have you been spinning the decks for?
6 - 7 Years
What originally hooked you into the DJing scene?
I used to watch my mates older brother mixing sometimes when i was at their house, i was amazed at what you could do with a couple of records and from that point onwards i was itching to get my hands on a pair of decks and have a go for myself.
Your musical influences?
Any Kind of house music gets me going, i love it all. DJ wise im a big morillo fan, i love going out to see him DJ, you can always count on that man to deliver the goods. Brandon Block is another favourite just coz he is laugh a minute and always entertaining or doing something funny!......I also like the funky sounds of junior jack and kid creme, their basslines can rock any dance floor!
What type of music do you specialise in?
Funky House
Most expensive vinyl that you have paid for, how much was it?
It was a remix of "Lola's Theme" which has the vocal from Tweet's "Boogie Tonight" over the top of it, I heard it in Ibiza in 2004 for the first time and thought it was wicked, so when i got home i tried to find a copy of it, eventually i saw one on ebay and i ended up paying £23 for it!
What is your most treasured record and why?
I dont really have one in particular, but i look after the one i payed £23 for....lol

What has been your coolest DJ night and why?
Probably last Wednesday, i was in a competition in Brighton and i won the round giving me a place in the semi finals.
Have you got any DJing horror stories?
First mix of the night at a bar in camden i managed to slide up the wrong channel on the mixer as i went into the mix, didnt realise unitl my first record had almost run out that my other record wasnt coming out of the speakers, didnt sound too good..... but it would have been worse if the place had gone silent i suppose........ ah well, these things happen.
