1. You've been DJ'ing for many years - what keeps you going?
I would have to say that it would have to be a passion for good quality house music, I love it and I love playing it to people who also enjoy it as well. Making a name for myself as a DJ in the industry is also something that I enjoy the challenge of.

2. The dance scene has really evolved since the boom in the 80's/early 90's - how do you see the next ten years?
I think that the dance music scene in all aspects has hugely grown, but I think that the next 10 years are going to show house getting more soulful and back how it used to be. I would also go, as far to say that hip-hop, r 'n' b and ragga will be the new dance music, certainly for the next few years.

3. What do you see as the essence of your success?
A lot of it is down to luck and being at the right place at the right time. Also putting in the hours to practise and keep up to date with the scene. I would not be where I am now without the support that I get from my friends and family.

4. Where have you travelled to DJ?
At the moment places such as, Preston, Manchester, Chorley, London and Leeds. No where international as yet.

5. What clubs would you like to play and why?
I would have to say the Ministry Of Sound on a Soul Heaven night, with both Louie Vega and Kenny Dope or Bobby and Steve, which would be a dream come true as they probably play some of the best music around. I would also love to play at Sankeys Soap on the Redlight night, because it has such a good crowd and the venue is fairly small so it has a bit more of a personal touch to it.

6. Who do you most admire in music today?
There would be loads of people to mention from, Goldie, MJ Cole, Ms Dynamite, Pete Tong, Bob Sinclar, Basement Jaxx, Dr Dre, N.E.R.D, Nitin Sawhney, Talvin Singh, Bebel Gilberto and many more. They all do there bit to push the sound that they like.

7. Who is your music legend?
Michael Jackson

8. Ibiza - dead and buried, or ready to fight another day?
Never been inclined to go there, but I think as long a people keep going the scene there will be as popular as ever.
