About / Biography

I started DJing back in 1989, when Soul II Soul - Back to Life - hit number 1 in the UK charts. Back then playing mainly at house parties, and weddings, and DJing for the love of music, and of being able to create a great atmosphere and make it a memorable party.

In 2004 I started DJing professionally in the corporate sector, and have since played at many prestigious venues including Oxo Tower, Royal Hospital Gardens Marque, Old Billingsgate, Kew Gardens, Natural History Museum, Tate Britain, HAC Marque, Lords, as well as many of the party boats on the River Thames. Clients include Barclays, BG Group, Yahoo, Spec Savers, Easyjet, Mitsubishi, and Boris Johnson - Mayor of London

If you want that house party atmosphere transferred to a bigger venue, I have a vast selection of music from 60s right through to all the hits of today, and the ability to mix seamlessly between all genres of music. Requests - of course - its your party, and can have your request playing within seconds of asking.

I provide a full set up including DJ booth, PA system, disco lighting. I can also provide extras - ambience up lighting, karaoke, photobooth, love letters, dance floors, sax & DJ and more

Why are you not cheapest DJ?

Simple answer is you get what you pay for.
Have you been at events where it sounds terrible, or too loud during reception, or the wrong type of music for the crowd.
Have you seen DJs that never look up at the crowd, to see if they are getting it right
Have you ever seen it where the DJ is setting up when the guests are already there.
All the above shows that the DJ is not a professional DJ, and there is a difference.
I am a professional, and peace of mind for you as the client and/or venue is as important as the music I play and atmosphere I create
