Career
Sentience grew up in Portsmouth, England, and began DJing at the age of 15. At age 18 he was signed to the London-based Nukleuz hard dance record label. The appellation "Sentience" was added due to the name of the outfit he was performing with in the early stages of his career. Sentience went on to tour worldwide, and in 2001, at the age of 21, was voted in at number 74 in the DJ Mag top 100 DJ rankings.

In 2001 he collaborated with DJ Phil Reynolds to produce the track "Instru(mental)", which was voted hard dance tune of the year and named as the Ministry of Sound single of the month. In May that same year a DJ mix by Sentience, Nukleuz Bomb, was featured as the cover CD of Muzik magazine. In 2002 he collaborated with Steve Blake to compile and mix the Reactivate Energize album on the React label, which peaked at #84 in the UK official compilations chart.

In 2007 Sentience played the Tidy stage at Creamfields. He has released a number of long players, including Universal Language and Dance Planet, followed by in 2011 the album Syncronized. Beat Magazine reported all three as "critically acclaimed".
