Essex-based DJ, musician and event production specialist
From the Stage to the Decks
Before DJing, I was a working musician — playing live to rooms of every shape and size. In 2008 I moved behind the decks full time, and that live background still shapes every set: building energy in waves, knowing when to pull it back, and treating the dance floor as a performance rather than a playlist on shuffle.
The Equipment
Nexo PA systems and Sennheiser radio mics deliver properly clear sound for both music and speeches. The lighting rig runs K10 washes and 280 beam moving heads, all controlled from an Avo Titan, and up to twelve up-lighters colour-matched to your styling — tour-grade kit, scaled to your room. Pangolin lasers and a black LED star cloth backdrop are optional extras, subject to set-up time.
How I Work
We plan the running order together, you send your must-plays and your do-not-plays, and I read the room from there. No shouting on the mic, no naff jingles, no set list bolted to the floor. Venues need to be ground floor or have lift access.
Every booking is played by me personally — nothing is subcontracted to another DJ. The person you plan with is the person behind the decks on the night.
What Matters to Me
Full from the first track to the final encore
My greatest satisfaction comes from filling the dance floor and keeping it filled all night. Every celebration — a wedding, a birthday, any occasion worth marking — deserves an atmosphere that keeps people engaged and dancing, and that comes down to timing — finding the right moment to drop the right track, rather than a playlist left running.
Stunning lighting and top-quality sound do the rest. The aim is a night your guests are still buzzing about long after the music has faded, in a room where everyone feels welcome to let loose and enjoy themselves.
Every event is different, so I stay adaptable. Your requests go straight into the set — your favourites may very well end up being the heart of the show.
