My Journey So Far

It all started with a dream and a pair of decks... 🎧

I started DJing at just 16 years old, and like many DJs, I didn't start with the latest equipment. My first setup was an American Audio mixer and two Pioneer CDJ-400s. I spent countless hours learning the craft, practising transitions, and building the foundations that would shape the DJ I am today.

Like many DJs, I took inspiration from some of the biggest names in dance music. Tiësto, Sarah Main, Robert Miles, Chicane, and many more fuelled my passion for trance and electronic music and inspired me to develop my own style behind the decks.

Over the years, I was fortunate enough to DJ in clubs across the UK, including Opus, Liquid, and many more, taking me from Manchester to Newcastle and giving me the opportunity to play to incredible crowds.

In 2009, I released my bootleg remix of Lange – Follow Me. What started as a passion project went on to receive over 2.9 million views, something I never imagined when I first uploaded it. Seeing so many people enjoy something I'd created remains one of the proudest moments of my DJ journey.

That same year, I founded Jumping Joe's, turning a passion into a business. Since then, I've entertained over 1,000 events, including weddings, birthdays, school events, corporate functions and children's parties, creating memories through music, entertainment and fun.

Alongside DJing, I've always had a love for magic. Being able to combine music, entertainment and illusion has allowed me to create experiences that people remember long after the music stops.

Looking back, I'm incredibly proud of the journey so far. From a 16-year-old learning on an American Audio mixer and two Pioneer CDJ-400s, to playing clubs across the UK, producing a bootleg that reached millions, running a successful entertainment business, and now working on exciting new EDM and Trance projects.

The journey is far from over—this is just the next chapter.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me over the years. Every booking, every club night, every dancefloor, every download, and every party has played a part in this incredible journey.
