Asides from DJ'ing – what else have you got going on? Is your time there all for the music? How do you prepare for events, de-stress? Where do you like to go/party when you're not playing?
Asides from DJ'ing I have been body painting here over the summer on Saturdays for Zoo Project. Also working as a make up artist at one off events like Glitterbox at Space, dressed up as a fairy face painting kids at a villa party and glittering up guests at a 1.5 million villa party!! This Villa party was not expected at all I wasn't told it was this big and how amazing it would be. We got to stay after we finished painting and glittering up the glamorous guests and it was out of this world! Guy Gerber, Eric Morillo and Seth Troxler playing till 10am!! The villa was on the side of a cliff with the sea all around it and it had a massive infinity pool!
Watching the sun rise was magical! I was so lucky to work at this! When I get time to myself I have been going to as many party’s as I can mostly Cream @ Amnesia, Connect boat parties, Connect @ Privilege, HYTE @ Amnesia, Full on Ferry, Elrow, Veto, Bora Bora, Tropi and then whenever I get a chance to chill try and get some sun! Place like Es Vedra and Calla Bassa beach, Reggae Reggae Beach, Kanya Beach, Calla Gracia with the cliff you can jump off, Benniras beach have been nice places to escape to.But Its been a very busy summer!
There is still loads of parties I didn't get to do and Im here 5 months!
Talk/Describe some of the people you have met through the scene – speak about the passion and dedication. What kind of people have you met that follow you, what are your fans like? How important is your fan-base? How do you connect with them?
I have met some really cool people through
the scene and have life long friends through it. DJ China L'One is the best mentor and has
supported me from day one and we always have a good laugh together. She's a really good friend now. Shane Fernandez Dj/ Promoter runs Summerized - Sessions in London/Ibiza/Goa and he's made me his resident after playing for him at Pacha two years ago. He's so passionate about music he plays all the clubs every weekend in London and holds a Full time Monday -Friday job. He's always thinking about the next party so we always have a gig coming up we can look forward to.We all get on so well and I always look forward to seeing all the Summerized Crew!
Elevation Audio have been great to work. Lewis, Ed and Mark have given me sets at The Gallery@ Ministry Of Sound which is somewhere I've only dreamed about playing growing up! More friends made! I have to say all the staff at HUSH, Tropi, Kanya and Eden have all been amazing and I look forward to working with them again.
The Ibiza Trance Family crew have giving me some amazing sets over the Summer and being one of their residents has been my dreams come true! Have to thank Dave Cook and Alex Ryan for giving me opportunities to play on NEMISIS, Privilege, Connect Boat and Club Pre Parties, Cream Pre Parties and Ultraviolet at Play 2. Great to see these guys so passionate about trance and keeping it alive!
