I initially started DJing to help pay my way through College while completing a diploma in Media Studies and then onto a BA (Honours) Journalism degree at University.
I started off my DJ career on the bottom rung of the ladder in the pubs and clubs in my home town, but I loved the job so much that I decided to take to the path of becoming a full-time DJ. |
Mark began DJ’ing professionally back in 1977 when still in high school, with a family background in electrical contracting and a passionate interest in music; it was inevitable that he would combine the two and start up a mobile disco. Through the 80s as resident DJ at wine bars and rugby clubs to running a massive roadshow during the rave science of the 90s, Mark has progressed to making DJ’ing his full time occupation. |

I can remember DJ-ing from as early as 13 years old, when I entertained friends & neighbors at small gatherings. I was always fascinated by the equipment & technology and even remember running my own radio shows from my bedroom, with my brother next door as the only listener! Throughout my time at school I DJ'd at school events and picked up work for friends, whilst continuing to grow popular as the "only DJ in the village"!!
