Djing
I Started my first Mobile Disco at age 19 as an extra source of income this got me into the Audio Visual industry and so i landed my first job in 1996.I then continued Djing and even when i went overseas to UK i got involved and landed my first Residency and Walkabout Finchley road i then secured residency at Walkabout Shepard's bush.
I then landed my own production called Switch and managed to pull off some big rave nights in the UK this was so successful that i then had enough of my own Equipment to break away and start what was to become my Audio visual company 'AV TEAM "
I returned back to South Africa and opened AV Team cc in 2007 and with the Fifa 2010 I secured four venues for the entire world cup football all venues included Projectors,Screens,Pa System and Technincian to operate.
This all become a reallity through my DJing and twenty years later i still have all my Turntables and Vinyl.
