What do you play?
It all depends on the venue, mainly commercial dance, rnb, hip hop, chart stuff & rock. My radio show is dedicated to punk, ska, rock, emo & metal and I have a few alternative club nights in the town.

When did you become interested in DJ'ing
I've been into music all my life listening to stuff like Jimmy Hendrix when I was a young teenager. I originally wanted to form a band, play wembly stadium, change people's lives with my lyrics.... But because I'm a terrible singer and cant play any instrument I decided I would be a DJ!

How did you get started? The DJ in our local nightclub didn't turn up. I ran home, got my records and I haven't been back to my day job since!

What do you love most about your job? At the moment I really feel as though I have the best job in the world! I get to laze around in the sun, do a bit of surfing and then go and get paid to have a good time! Oh, and I get lots and lots of free music...life is real good!

Why Newquay? Newquay is the only place I have found where everyone is free to be themselves, everyone is just here to have a good time. Plus the surf is pretty good too!

What music do you like? What is on your cd player this week? I love my alternative stuff, Punk, Ska, Emo & Rock. This week I have mostly been listening to 'Alkaline Trio' and 'The Used'
