What originally hooked you into the DJing scene?

Dance music hooked me straight away, and after listening to it for a little while, I really wanted to find out how this music was played live, what concerts were like etc, and I just explored from there.

What type of music do you specialise in?

I play a whole blend of progressive trance, progressive house, with electroy flavours sometimes, or sometimes nice smooth vocals, etc. It's really my own blend, I can't put a label on it, you have to listen for yourself :)

What do you like the most about DJing?

When the hairs on the back of your neck stand up from the crazy amount of energy in a room :)

What does your DJ name signify?

My dj name is my first name, and middle name. I wanted a name as true to me as possible, but I settled for my middle name becuase its A) Easier to spell, B) Easier to remember, and C) Easier to pronounce :P

Who are your influences /or shoutouts?

My influences range from my family, my friends and all the artists out there who I looked up to as I started getting into this scene. I think life just influences me really :P

Feel free to add any additonal information about yourself

I think what sets me apart from other dj's is my unique musical style. It's not trance, its not house, its not all progressive. I love a lot of emotion in tracks and in sets, but I also love a lot of drive and that beat that kind of pushes you further and further into the night. I think it's just my own different blend that produces a very unique energy on the dancefloor.
