DJ Q’s musical journey started from a young age listening to music played by his parents. It was at the age of 12 when Q first got involved with the UK Garage scene, buying vinyls and tape packs. When his vinyl collection grew larger Q finally got a pair of record decks in his bedroom. After teaching himself to mix Q started to get bookings at local parties at the age of 15.
Q’s break came was when he was invited on as a guest on one of the UKG shows to showcase a few of the songs he produced. While at the station he dropped off a mix CD, and was later asked to host a show on one of the UK’s leading radio stations. Q Joined 1xtra in 2004 as a DJ to host the UKG Mixshow, being the youngest DJ at the station he brought a new energy and sound to the airwaves.
It was around the same time Q released his first vinyl, ‘Love Like This (The Reasons)’ which was a big hit on the Bassline scene. This brought him more bookings at Bassline events and as time passed Q produced more hits such as ‘Tea Bag’, ‘Dirty’ and later ‘You Wot!’ Which was signed and released via Ministry of Sound. DJ Q is now at the forefront of the UK Garage scene as one of its leading DJ’s / Producers. 2008 saw Q hit mainstream success with remix credits to his name such as Amy Winehouse, Dizzy Rascal, H20 feat Platnum, Keri Hilson and Katy B to name a few. Q has also remixed and worked with the likes of Rusko, Toddla T & Shola Ama, Boy Better Know.
Aside from the Weekly 1Xtra show, DJ Q has been embraced by Radio One with many guest slots such as ‘the Essential mix’, Trevor Nelson’s Saturday show, a mini mix for Annie Mac, Rob Da Bank, The Review Show with Nihal, Mary Anne Hobbs, Mistajam & Pete Tong’s ‘In New Music We Trust’, Q has also played music in various countries over the years such as Ibiza, Malia, Ayia Napa, Kos, Corfu, Switzerland & America.
