1.Growing Up
Music was a very large part of my life growing up, but I think it was most importantly my father who had the biggest influence at a young age. He was an avid vynophile with over 1,000 jazz and classical records. I think it set the passion in very early for me.
2.Inspirations
My musical tastes are quite diverse although I do prefer artists that put some thought into what they create. A couple of standouts would be Trent Reznor and Miles Davis – each had a big impact the first time I heard them. There are many other musicians that have inspired me over the years and not enough space here to do them justice.
3.Your Crew
I’ve been lucky enough to have worked in this business all of my adult life. Sydney has had many amazing DJs over the years and I have been lucky enough to have been friends with many of them. Right now I am quite involved with Bondi Beach Radio and my show with The Real Tony Montana.
4.The Music You Make And Play
Although I’ve played many styles over the years I’m very happy to have settled on deep and tech house right now. These genres have grown in strength and diversity at a rapid rate and there are now so many awesome tunes out there. I have some huge basslines ready to drop and looking forward to hearing all of them on the massive system.
5.Music, Right Here, Right Now
In Sydney it’s still all about the lockouts, so many venues have taken a beating and it’s hard to watch these people who’ve worked so hard struggling as they are. Life is also about change and adversity only makes us stronger so I’m sure this town has plenty of amazing gigs to throw at us this summer.
