What kind of music do you play?
I play a mix of chill out and lounge music during the first half of the evening, then soulful house from 9pm.
What music do you love?
I appreciate good music irrespective of genre. I'm currently listening to the Deep House Cat Show, Episode 118. I've been building my music collection for 15 years and it continues to be an education and work in progress.
Most memorable music experience?
Some of my fondest memories are from my first season working in Ibiza. The four months I spent there gave me the confidence to pursue my dream.
Your thoughts on music?
To quote Leo Tolstoy: ‘Music is the shorthand of emotion'. I love DJing because I get to share music I enjoy with others.
