from a small town on the wirral, and in london since he moved there, by his own account, with fifty pounds in his pocket. what he is known for is the mixing itself rather than any one record, which is unusual at his size.
the records did the work first. More Than Friends in 2017 went platinum once and gold twice, No Drama with craig david followed in 2018, and Ferrari with miggy dela rosa in 2022 went to number one in the netherlands, italy and belgium. he says he made that one in a basement studio using pirated software.
You have to find the happiness and fulfillment in what you're doing every day.

STEREOHYPE is his, a label and a clothing line, moving differently since 2019 per its own strapline, with r3wire, tita lau, zurra and dots per inch on it. his own 2026 has gone out through it, Trigger Finger in april and the Clubworld ep on 31 july.
the two live things are worth knowing about. SYNC is his own show format, where the gear is synced to custom lighting so the room can actually see the mixing happening, and it debuted at hï ibiza in 2025. OUR HOUSE is the party he runs with MEDUZA, further up this page, which has a no phones policy and is in its fourth season at hï, wednesdays from 27 may to 30 september.
the american dates are las vegas twice, zouk on 19 september and again on 24 october, then boo in seattle on the thirtieth.
