Last night at Pointers we raised $2,954 for Voices of HOPE. I’m so bloody grateful to everyone who was involved, thank u all sooo much 🤍
After spending a lot of this year battling depression I am finally feeling well enough to play shows once again. I have decided that for the remainder of 2023 I will be donating any money I earn from DJing to the Voices Of Hope mental health charity
I’ve set up a Give A Little page that I will be using and also so anyone who’s feeling generous can donate too. Donations of any size are hugely appreciated, even just sharing this post/the link helps massively.
Whenever I have struggled with mental illness i’ve been in a very privileged position where I had access to all the help and support I needed. I know this isn’t the case for everyone, thats why organisations like Voices of HOPE are so important.
I have a few shows booked thus far but would love to do more. Promoters and anyone who would like to support this cause please reach out so we can tee something up!
DJing For Mental Health Using my DJ career to raise money for mental health.
Hey team, absolutely breaks my heart to make this post but i woke up feeling extremely unwell and thought i should test for covid.
Unfortunately it was positive meaning i'm unable to play at Baydreams today and Golden Nights in Akl tomorrow.
As you can imagine this fu***ng sucks for me and i'm so so so sorry to everyone who was looking forward to seeing me play.
Sooooo gutted about this but i have to put myself and the saftey of others first.
See you at the next one x

Take my word for it - those TBA’s are sooo large and i can’t wait to share them with you, but for now, save the dates!!
It's been a while since i've posted on new mix on soundcloud so I thought it was time to do so! I’ve put together a brand new mix containing my favourite blends, songs & doubles that i’ve been playing at my gigs & on my George FM show recently! It’s pretty high energy & has a range of different sub genres so you’re bound to find something that tickles your fancy. I tried to push myself & experiment a bit with this one so i’d love to hear what you think! Link is down below 👇

Little bit of a last minute surprise announcement but nonetheless, I’m so so happy to have been asked to headline AV this Saturday with the RUN DAT and BLOC Wednesdays crew! There’s no better way to celebrate the easing of covid restrictions than a shindig at the best club in Auckland. My support lineup is looking tasty and I promise my set will be too
