Being born with Mixtapes in his pocket around 1974, music and in particular, electronic dance music would shape his life.
DJ Kingsize eventually got his break around 1999 when he secured a DJ residency with legendary U.K. VIP club promoter, Mr Nick House from London Parties & Nick House Entertainment, playing 3 gigs a night, 6 nights a week with weekly residencies at some of Londons premier hotspots such as Richard Branson's Kensington Roof Gardens, Funky Buddah club & Mahikis nightclub in London's central Mayfair district.
From there he linked up with Mr Damian Gelle of Heat:UK events, securing gigs at London's legendary Turnnmills Club & The Cross & Pacha, eventually propelling Dj Kingsize on to DJ for close on 25 years now with a DJ career that has stretched from Cape Town to Johannesburg, Berlin, Dresden, London, Ibiza, India, Tanzania and Thailand & one of only 2 DJs on the planet (apparently) to have played a live DJ gig onboard an official public flight onboard a Boeing 737 (Bangkok to Ko Samui)
