Greater Manchester Mobile DJ

Every venue across Manchester, Stockport, Bolton, Bury, Salford, Rochdale, and Oldham has its own character and challenges. I've learned how different spaces sound, how various crowds respond, and what works in each type of celebration.

But more than venue knowledge, it's about understanding people. Every event is different because every client is different. That's what makes this job exciting for me.

MY MUSICAL JOURNEY

How It All Started

When I was 18, I got my first pair of turntables and started putting on parties in Blackpool. What began as house parties quickly grew into something special - they were so good that I ended up being mentioned in Mixmag, which was incredible validation for a young DJ just starting out.

My passion for music started way before I became a professional DJ. I've always been that person who discovers new artists before anyone else, who understands why certain songs work together, and who can't stop talking about music production techniques.

Those early Blackpool days taught me everything about reading crowds and creating atmosphere. The house parties led to club nights, and after winning a DJ competition, I found myself warming up for established acts like Futureshock and Freestylers. But what really shaped me was the personal connection with the crowd - seeing how the right track at the right moment could transform an entire room.

I got into events DJing because of the personal nature of celebrations. Unlike club nights where you're playing to strangers, events let me build relationships with clients, take requests, and constantly expand my musical knowledge. Every wedding, birthday, or corporate event became a chance to discover new music and understand what makes different crowds tick.

I've also DJed in bars around Manchester over the years, which taught me versatility - how to create background atmosphere for conversations, then shift energy when it's time to get people dancing. That experience across different venues and crowd types is invaluable for reading any room.
