A bit about you:

I started DJing with Crystal Clear at uni back in 2019 spinning DnB. It wasn’t until I revisited DJing in 2025 that I fell in love with techno, donk and bounce.

What is your favourite song at the moment?

DJ Bax - Bubblegum.

What is your favourite set that you have seen live?

I got to see Lobsta B go b2b with Hang the DJs at Boomtown which was unbelievable.

Which artist have you got an eye on at the minute?

I love any artist that embraces the silliness of music, like Jenny Sparks, 3DMA and DJ G2G.

What ignited your love for electronic music?

I really fell in love with electronic music when I started going to raves, the sense of community is unmatched and I felt like I had found my people.💛

Any location, fictional or not, where would you most want to play a set?

Playing at Boomtown would be a dream come true!

What are your plans for the not so distant future?

I’d love to branch out and play some shows outside of Hull, I’m also dabbling in music production too so getting a few releases under my belt would be ideal.

Do you have any advice for upcoming artists in the scene?

Say yes to every opportunity and be shameless with self promotion, there’s no better way to sell yourself than to do it in person.
