      Resident dj

      I DJ in different venues across the Leeds area holding a residency in Wakefield. Whilst tailoring sets to the venue I am booked with I take pride in my ability to read the room with great preparation. The reception I get from the audience and staff alike is very positive giving me the ability to rely on booking via word of mouth independently.I perform B2B's often with a great friend 'Reecey B' where we play classic 90's House, Tech House and occasionally Bassline (preference based). My residency involves me holding House & Tech House nights majority of weekends, I do however competently play Drum and Bass, House (all styles), R’n’B and Garage. Show less

      Career panellist

      During my tour as an audio visual technician for the BBC I was able to network and discuss my other work with the producers. This elicited a BBC producer reaching out to me in December 2022 to join them on their week long tour in Liverpool to be a panellist.I spent the week discussing my job role and being part of a panel discussing career options within the creative industries for somebody like me interested in music performance and curation. This was a great way to showcase my personal skills in articulation, public speaking, confidence and knowledge of the industry. I made a lot of useful contacts and I was able to receive a great deal of positive feedback from the venues and producers alike. Show less
