I caught up with him last week to find out what music means to him and more…
When are you the happiest?
Some of the happiest moments I have experienced in music has included playing my own original music in front of a crowd of reactive listeners, but nothing beats the feeling of hearing my work randomly on radio.
What does the music mean to you?
Music is a feeling I get from nothing else, it is also now my livelihood, and my future, but most importantly it's a way of expressing what I have inside.
Have you had any funny moments on stage?
When I was younger, I once turned the master knob down on the DJ mixer thinking it was the cue/mix knob for headphones, which was the neighboring knob on that mixer. The mistake resulted in a silent club dance floor for five seconds while I figured out what I had done.
Who are your heroes?
David Guetta has taken electronic music to the commercial masses and that has been my biggest inspiration. Locally my heroes are Ryan Murgatroid, Black Coffee and my dad.
Which living person do you admire most and why?
Jonny Clegg. What he did for South African music against many rules is an inspiration to anyone trying to bridge the gap between cultures in music.
It's your round, what are you drinking?
Definitely Hunters with ice, and a slice of lemon.
What would you dream gig to do?
Ultra! And closing party in Ibiza.
What are your nicknames?
Cricket field - Huss
Music industry - Cosh/Cosher
