Currently as of 25/5/25: I am DJing every Friday at around 11pm time on Heavy Resistance Aberdeen which is a rock and metal Twitch DJ Stream, with Mark Chalmers and friends.
Audio and music has always been a big part of my life, which I used to actively pursue in the evenings while working in software/IT.
- I have DJ’d semi-professionally, with stints in club residencies, mobile DJing and Twitch DJing, for over a decade. I also produced and released several electronica albums.
- I have done paid freelance work on sound design and studio building.
- I studied the core parts of a Bachelors degree in Sound Engineering and Music Production, as a distance learning course while I was working full-time, at the excellent Point Blank Music School in London. I have also done a lot of self-study in music theory, sound design, and audio engineering.
I am not currently putting as much time into music as I would like any more, because now I’m in my 40s it has been difficult to keep ‘burning the candle at both ends’. However I still enjoy playing my synths, live music, and listening to music on my custom listening setup.
