Still on a very steep learning curve with music production. Don't expect too much, lol. :)
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I used to be in a band or few, many years ago. I have gained experience as a live sound engineer, and some experience of live session and studio recording too.
I've DJ'd live online, at pubs and at parties. Earlier days the DJing was right across the range of commercial Dance genres. Over the last year or two, I have been developing a more underground style, championing quirky, raw talent. My natural DJ style is to mix up allsorts of styles, but I still try to maintain a flow to the mix.
The last few years I have gradually found myself more drawn to production, beginning on CoolEdit pro, moving on to Reason Adapted, then Ableton Live Delta and now settled on using the mighty Reaper.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Not as a dance artist yet. But I'm not stage shy.
Your musical influences
My biggest influences are the DJs I've heard live in clubs. They inspired me to take up DJing. But my musical influences are much too diverse to summarise. I was lucky to be exposed to a wide range of music, from many directions, from as early as I can remember.
What equipment do you use?
