The short story of how I became a tip top party DJ

I work as a professional musician, composer, sound artist.
I do concerts, art exhibitions, soundtracks and make lots of albums
Quite serious or entertaining, always positive.
I have played all over the world including The Sydney Opera House,
and won awards for my work with music and sound.


For my solo concerts and albums I use vinyl and record players in my music and exhibitions quite a bit...
So people used to say - 'Oh you are a DJ...'
... and I had to politely explain that I don't simply play other peoples records in my work. I make my own!

Until Now

... What happened? ...

I grabbed a box of charity records from a festival stall and persuaded the stragglers to dance & buy the records.
I always wanted to make people dance. DJ Dedication was born. They normally sit and think at my concerts.

Later on I was invited to take part in a show called 'Night of the Unexpected' at a UK Festival.
I decided to do the opposite of my usual 'serious' work, and just become a full on top party DJ,
with my classic 7"singles, a microphone, outfit, effects and a happy attitude. Full on fun.
And here we are. I now want to make people of all ages dance. I love it !

During the 90's I DJ'd at The Royal College of Art Bar and house parties.
