| I have grown up listening to a wide variety of Music of Black Origin all across the board from jazz to funk, disco, soul, hip-hop, electro. From a very young age I have been an avid collector of music and used to spend hours in my bedroom playing tunes for me and my friends. I remember stealing my Mum's Stylistics LP's.
In the late eighties and early nineties I remember exchanging mix tapes with friends and getting really excited about listening to tapes from pirate shows such as Kiss. Soul II Soul were particularly influential for me and Eighties soul and Nineties swing are favourite musical times for me.
I started officially DJing in the last five years in local bars and clubs. Over the years I have been influenced by local DJ's such as Winston Thomas, Donovan Smith, Rich Edwards, John Mustoe, JJ Watkins, Carlos and Martin 'in full swing'. I still love the buzz of getting a dance floor and people coming up and asking what a tune was because they loved it.
