KT: For everyone out there looking to get into deejayin'; how did you first start and what was your 'big break'?
Was having a hard time getting girls and my saxophone was to heavy to carry on the school bus. Discovered Technics 1200 turntables and never looked back. Still working on the girls bit, and stuck wheels on my saxophone case.
First big break, discovered mass texting in 2007 and told all my mates to swing past 'the local' aka Mynt Lounge.
KT: What advice can you give to any aspiring deejays out there that want to make their hobby into a career?
Advice: Practice makes perfect, friends go a long way & watch out for that ego.

With out being bias' I would have to say Mynt Lounge, after 5 years it never ceases to amaze me.

Influences hmmmm Definitely Eddie Mac, he is the dj's dj having played with the best all over the globe, not to mention always there to provide a level head and calming advice.
