In summer 2015, I was lucky to be accepted to play at the worlds largest football festival in Oslo, Norway.
I played a set on the main stage on the Sunday and was asked by the organisers to play a set every day until the following Thursday.

In August 2015, I applied for the chance to play at the World's largest Electronic music production and DJ exhibition (BPM) which is held at the NEC in Birmingham.
Out of thousands of applicants world wide, I was gifted the opportunity to play a 30 minute set on the Play @ BPM Stage.

Over the course of the weekend, I spent a lot of time at the Pioneer DJ stand.
My talent and skills were noticed by the staff, who asked if I would like to play a set on their stage at their booth at the exhibition. Of course I was delighted and said yes.
After my set, I was gifted with a pair of their brand new hdj2000 mk2 headphones.
Later the same day they asked me to play another set, I accepted and played a total of 2 sets for them.

Throughout my career as a DJ, I have been very privileged to have gained connections with Annie Mac. She has helped and supported me to become a better DJ.
In November, Annie Mac's AMP team got I touch and requested that I played in room 2 at the 02 Academy, Glasgow for her Annie Mac Presents 2015 tour.

I played an hour set and after which I got to hang out with Annie, Redlight, Monki and Melé who all gave me, and continue to give me, expert advice.

On that same night, I won the Pride of Aberdeen Award (one to watch music category).
I was nominated by the public and was picked as a finalist by a panel of judges.

I have also recently entered Hannah Wants DJ search completion to see if I could play on her UK tour 2016.
I personally received an email from her manager saying...

"I just wanted to take the time to let you personally know how impressed both Hannah and I were with your mix."
"Unfortunately this time it was only your age that was a factor in why you weren't selected"
"Please keep going you are amazing and feel free to reach out for any advice you may need, you have a real talent”

I am also going to be opening the main stage at Digital love in Aberdeen on the 4th of June. Other artists on the main stage include: Green Velvet, Dusky, Tinie Tempa, Example and many more.

I was wondering if there would be an opportunity for me to play at your festival?
There is no other DJ like me and to play at your festival would be amazing and I really hope you will consider me as a valid artist.
