Tell us three things about yourself . . .
During lockdown, I built a little home studio, and the music I made resulted in me signing a major deal with Warner Records in 2022. I've DJ’d with David Guetta, Tiesto and Calvin Harris. I cook a mean steak.
How would you describe your music?
Club-ready, uplifting dance music. I love creating feel good, chord-driven, vocal-laden songs that hopefully sound just as good on the dance floor as they do on the radio.
Who are your musical inspirations?
Stevie Wonder, The Neptunes, Timbaland, Swedish House Mafia, Avicii, Zedd, Disclosure.
What was the first gig you ever went to?
Michael Jackson in Dublin 1997 when I was a kid. It was incredible.
What was the first record you ever bought?
Dangerous by Michael Jackson.
What’s your favourite song right now?
Haha, am I allowed to say my own track?! My new single is a collab with the amazing Kelli-Leigh. She’s had two UK number ones with Duke Dumont and Secondcity, a string of UK Top 20 singles, and a Grammy nomination. She’s an incredible singer and songwriter, so for me to have her on my second single is an honour. It’s called Oh No You Didn’t and it’s out now.
Favourite lyric of all time?
It feels like an obvious answer, but the lyrics in The Nights by Avicii are incredible. I think everyone can relate to them.
If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Oh, that’s impossible to answer…. sorry!
Where can people find your music/more information?
You can find my music on all streaming platforms and stores, like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Soundcloud etc. And you can follow me on all socials. My Instagram is @djhix.
