1.Growing Up
For me growing up involved several powerful ghetto blasters almost always on full, with me pinning my head in-between, soaking up every sound.
2.Inspirations
Such a big question with so little space to answer in! OK, so I’ll name five: I love Bono, Freddie Mercury, Sia, Celine Dion and Shirley Bassey. All of those singers have super powerful voices with unimaginable control and range.
3.Your Crew
I work a day job: I’m a banker with ANZ and I love it very much. With DJing it was a trance DJ named Ruby who taught me to spin back in 2007. My first gigs were at Slide nightclub, swiftly followed by Phoenix Rising.
4.The Music You Make And Play
My music style changes from venue to venue, but personally I love commercial pop and remixed disco anthems. I also love vocal, sexy house and any kind of music that is fun for everyone. I’m a sucker for yesterday’s anthems, and enjoy bringing up fond memories for clubbers when they hear an old anthem.
5.Music, Right Here, Right Now
The music scene is a real battle these days: never have music tastes been so diverse and spread out. Because of this, everyone is a DJ all of a sudden. It has suddenly become very fashionable and cool. Some things I love about my scene apart from the music, obviously, would have to be the drag queens. The performers just always bring a glamorous, comical, fun, colourful and exciting element to our scene. Life would be a whole lot duller without our wonderful queens.
