Manchester was a vibe last weekend 💫
Had a wicked time playing for @melotechevents last weekend, getting to take over the decks from @richieblacker - another incredible artist I look up to and aspire towards.
What a party they have going on up in Manchester, top notch vibes with everyone there for the right reasons - the music. A huge thanks to everyone who stayed til the end for my closing set 🙏🏻💫
How I prepare for my DJ sets 🎧
A little insight into how I’m getting ready for my gig this weekend in Manchester when I support the legend that is Richie Blacker alongside @onda.dj and @manchild_uk for @melotechevents.
Tickets still on sale 🎟️
Where it all began 💫
I often look back and wish I had committed myself more to music. At the time, I had no clue that I was learning the skills and knowledge that would give me the platform to begin pursuing my dream 16 years later. A dream I’d love to have discovered many years earlier but that wasn’t meant to be.
As with many things in life, it’s not until you get older that you realise the importance of something. Everyday, I count my blessings that I have found my calling in life and it’s down to us to do everything we can to make our dreams a reality.
Who’s kitchen are we cooking up some vibes in next then? 🍳👨🏼🍳

3 Key Lessons I’ve Learnt from Chasing my Dream 💫
These are the 3 most important lessons I’ve learnt so far since I committed to this journey 3 years ago to pursue my dream of becoming a full time DJ and producer.
1️⃣ Enjoy the Journey
Success doesn’t happen overnight. If you had asked me three years ago where I’d be by now, I would have said I would have quit my job and been doing music full-time. This isn’t the case. Success doesn’t happen overnight, so you have to love what you do and do it as much as you can. Focus on making positive movements each day and enjoy the small wins. The bigger picture will paint itself.
2️⃣ Thrive Off Failure
They say the biggest lessons you learn are from failure; this couldn’t be more true. I’ve never experienced as much failure as I have in the last three years, but you have to use this to inspire and motivate you to do better and be better.
3️⃣ Stay True to Yourself
Don’t compare yourself to others who are in the position you want to be in; everyone has a different situation and circumstance. The best thing you can do is stay true to what brings you joy; that way, you are doing it all for you. Authenticity leads to originality, which leads to success. Your best differentiator is you.
Little insight into how I write my music 🎵
This is an idea I started writing today, trying out something different by writing my first piano house record. I always start things off by getting a solid groove locked in with the kick and bass then everything else builds from the bottom up.
What do you think of this vibe? Let me know below if you think I should get it finished 👌🏻
Since I started learning to produce music 2 and a half years ago, I’ve spent countless hours in the studio trying to refine my craft and get my music to a level in which my favourite DJs would play it out in clubs all over the world. I knew that when it would finally happen, I would have the recognition I needed to know I’m on the right path.
The first time I heard my own music get played out live was when I was in the crowd at Drumsheds and Yulia Niko dropped my unreleased record Praying to the Moon. My reaction in the video says it all, it was my proudest moment yet as a producer and artist. A few weeks later, I’d receive another video showing Yulia drop the same record at Ushuaia in Dubai 🤯
There is no better feeling in the world and hopefully just the start of more to come. I can’t wait for the record to finally release later this year 💫
HUGE GIG INCOMING 🚀
Next month, on Friday 7th February, I’ll be back DJing in one of my favourite cities in the U.K. - Manchester. A city with so much rich history when it comes to music.
On the night, I’ll be supporting a wicked headliner in @richieblacker, an artist whose records have always made their way into my sets. I’ll also be playing alongside the legends that are @onda.dj and @manchild_uk, two guys who are making waves in the scene.
Grab your tickets on RA and I’ll see you on the dancefloor 🎟️
