+ Type of work you do: the majority of my time is spent on content creation, so this allows me to vj with 100percent my own created visuals. i love to show people at events the stuff that has come alive from my mind. currently my vjing work would be just the visuals, but i am working towards an audio visual project to take what i do to the next level.
i have performed as a vj for the past 7 years, originally i was based in london and played at most of london’s nightclubs at some point or other, including, a residency over two years at ministry of sound, plus clubs like fabric, cargo 93 feet east and the vibe bar. festivals included the big chill, glastonbury and homelands.
i moved to lie in the south of france and started working more around europe at clubs and festivals, and now for the last 6 months have been in spain. european highlights include, name festival in lille, kazantip in the ukraine, marsatac in marseille, urban artforms in austria. i also spent a month in india playing a elevate club in delhi and went to miami earlier this year to play some events at the winter music conference, including the beatport remix hotel event and miambient.
+ Best gig: best gig would either be opus vj event in marseille, or urban artforms in austria, just down to the sheer number of screens around the huge venues, visually eye popping.
+ Most random thing that ever happened at a gig: a lighting technician who became so messed up at the end of a clubnight that he started pissing in the lighting/sound booth, pretty close to my equipment!….
+ Non-VJ stuff you do: when im not doing something related to visuals, i’ll probably be on the beach, in the sea, or eating some nice food on a sunlit barcelona terrace with a fresh cervessa beer…or just sleeping..
+ Who you’d love to work with in the near future: in the future i hope to work more on more music videos, following on from this one ealrier in the year for maurro picotto, shot on location in ibiza -
