His philosophy is to celebrate versatility and is at home bridging BPM's and collaging the unexpected wherever possible.
Over the past 5 years he has continued to bring his sound both here in Auckland and Wellington. Long running shows on FirmFM and Radio Active's 89FM; co-founding the 'Cheese and Pickle' nights at Sandwiches; supporting Big Bada Boom; spreading some sunshine at the Cuba Street Carnival and setting up the long running 'Sundried' garden summer sessions which he intends to bring to Auckland along with his new FONK venture for 2010.
Having been part of the BaseFM family since 2007, he heads up 'On the Flipside' for some soulful Thursday Afternoon shenanigans. Expect everything from the Specials through to Baby Charles, with enough soul to keep you going well until the weekend. It will be a mixed bag from both hemispheres... coz everyone loves a Thursday! On the Flipside - Thursday Afternoons 2-4pm."
