More Information
I’ve regularly been playing in venues across Leeds, Manchester, York, Newcastle and Birmingham over the past 3 years, playing a range of music like Pop, Rnb + HipHop, 80s, 90s, Indie, Rock, Disco, Commercial House, Country, and all sorts inbetween. During my 2 years at Boom Battle Bar I have played a range of music themed brunches - ranging from Country, to HipHop/Rnb, Afrobeats, Summer Vibes, Rock, Disco, 80s/90s and many more genres, which has helped achieve an extended, diverse music library. I’m also able to play music on the less commercial side, and really enjoy chilled out styles of music such as jazz, downtempo, trip-hop, chill-pop, soulful house and others where suited. I’ve recently done so at Piccolino in Sheffield for New Year’s Eve. Furthermore on the less commercial side, I come from a background of playing current House music, so have plenty in the locker from the likes of Chris Stussy, Josh Baker, ANOTR, Pawsa and Max Dean. I do also play underground House music hence my Instagram profile, however I strictly keep this separate from my bar gigs and only play it at venues/events where it’s expected. I have a pair of XDJ XZs I’m able to bring out if needed and of course a USB and headphones :)
