DJ Delite
I was introduced by my mother to music from a very young age. She had an eclectic taste buying Reggae, Pop & RnB. This is where my passion for music was ignited. When I was 10 years old, I bought my first record (she paid for it lol) and would buy more when I had the money and at 16 I was introduced to the world of DJing.
Between 16 and 18-years old I played in most of the clubs, bars, and community centres in my home city of Nottingham delighting the crowds with my eclectic mixes of Hip Hop, RnB, House, Funk, and Soul.
At the age of 18 I co-founded a Hip Hop group called 3:6 Philly, for which I as the DJ and producer. We started doing shows in our native city of Nottingham, which expanded to surrounding towns and cities. After a couple of years in the early 1990s, we signed and released two records on ZOOM Records: "Those Flags Offend Me" and "Funky Alcohol" which we got great reviews from all the music press like Melody Maker, Echoes, NME, The Face, Hip Hop Connection and Straight no Chaser magazine. A music video for Funky Alcohol, which was recorded in London was made and played on MTV. A promo video for our third release “Gravedigger” was made for Channel 4’s music show, Naked City. This was never released, but the video is available on YouTube.
I stopped DJing during the mid to late 1990s and started again in 2000 when I was asked to play at a friend’s party.
In the early 2000s my talent and dedication to playing mostly House music led to online radio shows on MixTheGroove Radio and SSRadio, and currently multiple live guest mixes on House FM.
I have held residencies in Nottingham at Synergy Bar, Brass Monkey Bar, Bluu Bar, and Escusha. My performances have taken me across the UK, with gigs in Manchester, Newcastle, Derby, Birmingham, London, Wolverhampton, Bristol, Leeds, Norwich, Sheffield, Leicester, Oxford, Reading, and even in Ibiza.
