A former resident at Cafe Mambo in Ibiza he has been a guest DJ at Ministry Of Sound, Renaissance & Gatecrasher, played several Homelands and toured internationally at Space & Pacha (Ibiza), Limelight (NYC), Avalon (Boston) and the Liquid Room (Tokyo).

The Streetlife attitude is quite simple... this is an entertainment industry, so they want to entertain, they want to put smiles on faces and hands in the air. There are no rules in a Streetlife set. They add samples, accapellas & sound fx to the equation. Compliment that with some of the most cutting edge electronic dance and the result is something quite exciting and definitely refreshing. 'Don't believe the hype' ... music is fun! There ain't no party like a streetlife party and you're all invited.
