My Journey, My Music, My Passion

This year has been one of transformation. I started my DJ career many years ago, not just to play music, but to cope with the mental and emotional struggles I’ve faced since my amputation. It’s been a battle with depression and anxiety, but music has been my therapy. It’s how I’ve gotten out into the community, met incredible people, and shared moments of joy with all of you.

From DJing at the Disability Trust 50th Anniversary, UNI Law Ball, and countless weddings and parties, to performing at amazing venues like Pepe’s On The Beach, Towradgi Beach Hotel, Denham Court, Spirits of Newtown, and Cauliflower Hotel, I’ve seen firsthand the power of music. And let’s not forget getting 2nd place in my first DJ competition – another milestone in this amazing journey.

I’m truly grateful for the support I’ve received this year, especially from my close friends and my partner of 30 years, Emily, who has been my rock through all the ups and downs. She never gave up on me, even when I struggled the most.

Looking ahead, in 2025, my goal is to play for a crowd of at least 1,000 people, and I know the universe will make it happen. With bookings already coming in for next year, I’m excited to see where this journey takes me. It means the world to me when people give me a follow and tag me in their posts, thanks for helping me on my journey.

If you’ve been following my story, or if you’re struggling yourself, don’t be afraid to reach out. I still have my struggles, but doing what I love has truly helped me. You’re not alone, and I hope my journey can inspire you to keep going.

Thank you for being part of my journey. Let’s make 2025 unforgettable!

Beyond the decks and beats, my heart has been racing down another trail for nearly 30 years—mountain biking!

The journey hasn't been without its hurdles, especially since becoming an amputee. But, just like DJing, mountain biking has been instrumental in helping me navigate the ups and downs of mental health. While I might not hit the trails as hard as before, the love for MTB continues to bring joy, adventure, and a wonderful community into my life.

I'm grateful to have been sponsored by Specialized and Camden Cycles, and to have founded the "Ability To Ride" program, where we've empowered many amputees and those battling mental health challenges to experience the thrill of biking with Specialized Turbo Levos.

One of my most memorable adventures was tackling the White Rim Trail in Utah—a 160-kilometer challenge—with an inspiring group of individuals with limb differences. I had the privilege of meeting Mike Sinyard, the founder of Specialized, and sharing this journey with incredible friends from the National Ability Centre and Osseointegration International.

Creating the "Tread Setters" documentary was a team effort, and I'm so thankful for the support of Louis, our talented director and filmmaker, along with my amazing collaborators Annijke Wade, Josie Fouts, and Steven Wilke. Your dedication made this project truly special.

Losing part of my leg was tough, but in a way, it was like winning the golden ticket to W***y Wonka's amazing world. If that hadn't happened, I might have missed out on these incredible experiences. The universe has a funny way of surprising us, and sometimes good things truly do emerge from the darkest places. As Einstein famously said, for every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. Something good has to come
from something bad!

Life can be challenging, but finding a reason to get up each day is crucial. Invest in those who invest in you, volunteer, and choose joy. Check out our journey in the "Tread Setters" documentary link below.
A big thank you to all my community of friends who have supported me in the hardest of times. Your encouragement and love mean the world to me. 🙏

Keep riding, keep smiling!

Honouring the Life and Legacy of Quincy Jones
Today, we pay our deepest respects to the legendary Quincy Jones. His genius, passion, and unwavering dedication to music have transformed the world, inspiring countless artists and touching the lives of fans across generations. Quincy was more than just a producer or musician – he was a visionary whose impact reaches far beyond any one genre or time.
In 1964, Quincy made history by composing the soundtrack for The Pawnbroker, becoming the first African American composer to score a major studio film. This achievement was the beginning of a remarkable journey that would forever change the sound of film music. His courage to pave new paths in an industry that rarely welcomed diversity has left a legacy that will inspire for generations to come.
From jazz to pop, from producing for Michael Jackson to discovering young talents, Quincy’s achievements have shaped the soundtracks of our lives. His legacy will live on in every note, every rhythm, and every soul touched by his music. His influence continues to echo through the artists he’s inspired, the fans he’s moved, and the incredible body of work he’s left behind.
Our thoughts are with Quincy’s family, friends, and all who knew and loved him. Thank you, Quincy, for everything. Your spirit lives on through the music that connects us all.

What an incredible night at the Disability Trust's 50th Anniversary Ball!

Everyone was on the dance floor, loving every track, and when I announced the last song, the crowd wasn’t ready to stop—chants of “one more song” filled the room! Lucky for everyone, I had the perfect track lined up: Simply the Best by Tina Turner, because the Trust and everyone involved truly are the best at what they do.
Even then, the night wasn’t over—managed to squeeze in a few more songs, and we kept the energy going until the lights finally brought things to a close. This was truly one of the happiest nights I’ve had as a DJ, and I can’t wait to play for the Trust again. Thanks to everyone who made it unforgettable!
