Dj Skinz like most aspiring DJ’s first started messing around with two turntables within the four walls of his bedroom.

Years of fine-tuning his skills as a DJ gave him confidence to seek out his first Club Resident DJ position. His uncontested skills obtained him a resident spot at the legendary midweek club night Soul Kitchen, at the now titled Capitol Club in the heart of London’s West End Leicester Square. Soul Kitchen was without doubt the hottest midweek R&B club night in London town and DJ Skinz was one of the DJ’s that made it the place to be seen.

After years of spinning to some of London's most elite ravers, DJ Skinz was headhunted to work at various London hot spots such as the notable Ministry Of Sound, Embassy, Indigo O2, Ko Ko, Funky Buddha and Runway. To make sure he never lost touch with the real street DJ Skinz did his fair share of house parties.

His high prominence in London’s club land and friendship with DJ Swing, led him to join the infamous Boogie Bunch. This collaboration progressed into his first stint at Twice as Nice, Club Coliseum, which lasted for five years. Over the past three years DJ Skinz rubbed shoulders and cross faders with Radio One’s Trevor Nelson, Idris Elber, Tinie Tempah, Wreck 32, David Beckham, Jay-Z, Kelis, Missy, Usher, Dizzee Rascal, Labrinth and Beyonce; joining him on the stage or taking part on the mic at various official after parties.

Not content with just being a tour DJ for Ministry of Sound, DJ Skinz began to feature at various other clubs and events across the UK like MTV’s Lick Parties and all over the globe at EF Summer Ranzer Festival alongside Will I Am, Kesha and Bob Sinclair.

After a few guest spots on Kiss 100 FM and London’s urban station Choice FM, Dj Skinz was invited to host his weekly show Smoove on the Ministry of Sound's radio station in 2007; the only urban show on the station which ran for three years. This radio show ran alongside the weekly Smoove club night at the Ministry of Sound for which DJ Skinz was the residential DJ. The branding of Smoove remains popular globally and within the UK.

DJ Skinz's career has gone from four walls to four continents. His club duties during this time have taken him from London to Cyprus, Dubai (PGA Golf Tour & Snoop Dogg’s After Party), Abu Dhabi (Official F1 After Party), Malaysia, America, Ireland, Croatia, Muscat, Estonia, Africa, the South Of France (Cannes Film Festival), Sweden (Kayne West's After Party), Japan and as one of Ministry Of Sound’s Only Urban Tour Resident DJ’s and he is only just beginning.
