Where were you born?
West London
What was your favourite hobby / present as a kid?
Reading Fighting Fantasy books and collecting little models from Games World. Couldn't tell you why, I just did...
How did you get into DJing / presenting?
My brothers had a sound system and I used to clear away the records after their practice sessions to get 30 minutes on the decks (I was around12-13).
When 1Xtra was advertising for staff I had applied for a job, but not as a DJ. Story goes... the specialist executive producer had heard my mixtapes and thought I was American. In passing he had mentioned my name to Robbo Ranx who told him I lived in White City, near BBC TV Centre not White Plains. Another DJ Mark Ross also had the same conversation with him. The rest is history... Respect to Robbo & Mark!
What / who are your biggest influence(s)?
As a DJ it would be my brothers who taught me well. Also DJs like Cash Money, Jazzy Jeff, soundsystems like Mastermind, Rappattack, Stonelove, Killamanjaro. As a person, my father. He taught me principles and morals. Work hard and play hard!!
What have been your biggest achievements?
- When I pressed my first record. Case and Foxy Brown, Touch Me Tease Me (dancehall remix).
- Doing a shed load of mixes for UK and US acts.
- Being one of the leaders of the remix trend as we know it today.
- Performing at the MOBOs
- Starting my label with my brother and bredrin, Big League Productions
- Working with people that you idolised as a kid
- My son
Name a key tune that you love or inspired you.
This is so hard, I love so many! A key album that inspired me was Criminal Minded - Boogie Down Productions. Lyrically KRS1 was the man on this album. Production is what got me though, they had blended hip hop and reggae seamlessly. Need I say more.
What is your favourite lyric?
This is even harder. In 1997 Boogie Down Productions released the Edutainment LP. It had a track on there called Beef. This was before the mad cow disease outbreak. Listen and you'll understand why I love this track. I love ALL the lyrics.
What is your dream gig or collaboration?
Sometimes living out that one dream, spoils the dream
What interests or hobbies do you have outside music?
Unfortunately my life revolves around music but I do enjoy swimming.
What three rules do you live your life by?
Be as honest as possible.
Know your limitations.
Always remember those who have had your back.
What's your weakness?
Saying NO... Just gotta be the good guy!
You're on your way home from a rave and you're starving, there's a kebab shop or a bagel shop, which one do you go to?
Bagel Shop, coz it's where everyone goes to after a rave so yet get to hear all the talk and eat too!
When did you last flop as a DJ?
Please... Actually, no lie. It was a Friday 13th around seven to eight years ago. The crowd weren't responding to any of my usual gimmicks, hype and behaviour, but I still persevered with my set! I'm a soldier!
Favourite piece of clothing and why?
Gotta be my Air Force 1's. They go with anything. I even got my girl wearing them.
You see your friend's boyfriend/girlfriend kissing someone else. What do you do?
Run di bwoy... Then give her an ultimatum to sort her shizzle out.
