I have been collecting my records since the day I was able to work and earn money to go around record stores in London. White  labels and promotional copy’s were my real treats not knowing the value of some of the music that was released by some of these great artists!

My music education started with a big love of electronica and acid breaks from 90s, which was my real passion at that time and listening to sampled tracks made me more curious about the original artists. This is something that I find never ending and I still have this curiosity which allows me to constantly discover new music. Music is one of the most appreciative moments for me, that is for sure and Jazz is the teacher!

My collection expands from day to day, and I am always digging in shops, records fares and online stores to indulge in the goodness that music brings.Nowadays my love of music is heavily influenced by jazz, funk and soul, from around the world.

As far as DJing, everything I play is on vinyl keeping things as authentic as possible playing all kinds of records with no apologies for crackles or skips whilst playing.  That definitely makes the listening experience more personal with needle to record on a turntable. 

Having hosted shows on other radio stations, I am now really pleased to be sharing my music on a new journey with Gold Dust Radio.

All you have to remember now is.... GET IN THE GROOVE!

Catch the show monthly on Sundays 12:00 GMT on Gold Dust Radio.
