What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I have over 5000 gigs experience with the first 4000 in clubs across the UK and Europe. I always loved music and when thrown in at the deepend I had the natural ability to read a crowd and fill a dance floor again and again.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?
