A DJ whose connect with Electronic Music spans over 23 years with early influences from the likes of Paul Oakenfold, PVD, Sasha & Digweed, Satoshi Tomiie and epic British label series ‘Global Underground’. His passion developed at a time when legendary clubs such as Gatecrasher, Cream and Godskitchen were churning summer festivals across the world inspiring a new generation of music lovers.
Before moving to India in 2006, he lived in London, a city where his inherent musical tastes were further developed, meeting DJs and Producers alike at massive festivals and nights at Fabric, Gallery of Turnmills, MOS and the underground clubs of East London.
Considered amongst the top talents in the circuit, he is the new dawn of DJs, championing an exquisite uplifting house sound that has created a huge fan base. His solid ear for melody, point-perfect track selection and an unmatched versatility behind the decks have always made him a man-to-watch.

Adding to his success he was called upon to play the closing set for the legendary electronic act CHICANE's Indian debut. He's been paired alongside artists like British trance star Paul Trainer, Dinka, Daniel Portman, Midival Punditz, Jalebee Cartel and B.L.O.T and many others.
