Activities
Well, where does one begin in describing themselves?.... I feel like I'm on a speed dating game show!
My name is Craig & I am 36 years old & I was born in Sydney N.S.W. I am currently working back full time in the DJ game... & believe me it is a real game. I also work in the Sales & Logistics team for a company that sells high end office furniture, running their internet sales site. Before that I had been retailing music for 20 years. I LOVED working in music retail, but it was time for a change. I had worked for quite a few different retailers - Angel Records, Disco City, Our Price Music (U.K), Fish Records, HMV, Dirt Cheap CD's & then Sanity. With DJ'ing at the moment I am playing a few one off gigs at Mr.Marys & I played The Flinders Hotel on Mardi Gras '08... that was a blast! So when a promoter offers me a gig I jump at the chance to play at a club or dance party. The feeling of taking a dance floor on a journey into a crazy state of loosing themselves where the bass & the beats are the most important thing in the world at that moment in time is such a power trip & it's what all DJ's accross the globe strive for. But it is so hard to make the right connections in the world of club promoters. It really is the best job for those few hours when your behind those decks.
I LOVE BEING A DJ...
