He works with his father as a DJ after leaving school, starts with small parties, and in 2006 is given a weekly residency at one of Nottingham’s biggest bars. He builds experience through club work and becomes known for playing versatile sets that range from uplifting trance in the main room to underground electro and other back-room styles. His profile also describes him as energetic and adaptable, with a focus on keeping dancefloors moving.
