What made you want to move to Dubai and how long have you lived here?
I actually got offered a job in Abu Dhabi and moved there first in 2009, I loved it, anywhere with sunshine all the tine is the place for me. After that contract finished i was offered a job in Dubai and took it. Lived here now for 10 years, i love the lifestyle here and the fact that the choice of activities & nightlife is endless! Plus over here in Dubai there is so much work available as its non stop here throughout the week.
What’s your business/job role now?
I’m a resident DJ for Secret Jungle Brunch, Paradise Ladies Day & also Sin Sundays – STK Jbr.
Tell us how you got involved with DJing?
I’ve always wanted to be a DJ from when I was 13, my mum thought it was a phase I was going through so when I was 16 she finally agreed to buy me decks for my 16th Birthday. I practised loads and started working in the local bars & clubs pr’ing on the streets, I loved it, this allowed me to make a lot of contacts in the industry and when i was 18 years old i moved to Ibiza for my first season, i took part in a DJ Competition in Plastik in San Antonio and won it so began my first residency there, then Pukka Up approached me to be a Resident DJ for them also and it all just escalated from there.
Favourite clothing stores?
I love mixing & matching designer with high-street, in Dubai my favourite shop is Harvey Nichols, they have the best/different stuff & for online I love Pretty Little Thing, its affordable & always up to date with the fashions at that moment and have such a huge variety.
Who inspires you?
I don’t have one particular person who inspires me I’m inspired everyday by all kinds of different people in all different industries.
What advice would you give to your younger self?
I would say to my younger self – wear factor 50 on your face at all times! This would’ve prevented me from paying all this money for botox haha! 🙂
