Career Profile: Fell in love with the art of djing in 1988 after seeing Dj
Carl Cox played with three turntables at the second summer of love concert that
same year I got my first citronic thames 11 twin turntable decks and started
learning how to dj. The next two years I was attending all the house music
raves in London including all nations club in hackney East London while
mastering the art of disk jockey, I started playing at house parties and local
pubs in east London.
In 1990 I attended Tim Westwood's show at the northing hill carnival in
London. My encounter with Tim Westwood further galvanised my interest in djing
even though I already had over two year's exposure in dance and house music
playing tunes by Frankie Knuckles' and Jamie Principle, hip hop music became
part of me and also reggae music inspired by David Rodigan.
In 1992 I set up my sound system called playground sound system which later
became playground entertainment in 2001 during this period I had been resident
dj at sensations night club in Stratford and three rabbits pub in east London.
Between working as a part time dj I also took time to study for a degree in
computer science and management at East London University and Canterbury Christ
church university.
I am currently working full time as assistant IT Manager at Cardiff and Vale
college in Barry south wales and also resident Dj at Fizz wine bar in Barry
south wales, in addition I also Dj at PSV
Lounge in hackney East London every last Friday of the month.
My interest as a disk jockey has been influenced mainly by the likes of Tim
Westwood, Dj Carl Cox, Pete Tong, Trevor Nelson and David Rodigan. I will
describe myself as outgoing, versatile and hard working. My music genre
includes Uk chart pop, hip hop, r&b, dance music, techno house, reggae,
dancehall and afro hip hop.
