Real name - John Shersby

I live in Stoke on Trent in the UK, I'm 27, and have been DJing in some form or another since the age of around 12. Started in my bedroom, was a mobile jock for quite a while, these days working in bars and clubs, although still doing the occasional mobile gig every now and then!

I play a student night at Staffs Uni, which is your standard mixture of clubby, poppy and downright cheesy, all good fun! I also play a club in Stoke at the weekend, which is more dance based, with a little R&B/hip hop thrown in.

My hobbies (other than DJing) are electronics and most forms of DIY. Bought a house last year, so there's always something to do in that respect! When I was a kid, my first decks were a homemade effort, two 70's record players modified for remote start and pitch control, and a basic mixer made from parts of an old cassette player (for the headphone amplifier) and bits of an old TV (for the faders). Very basic, but hours of fun, and a good learning experience I guess. I love building my own kit, it's the only way to get exactly what you want. I guess that's why I like VDJ, it's so customisable with it's shortcuts, skins, and remote control options etc...
