With an interest in DJing spanning twenty years, Spice's career began on the house party circuit as part of the Buzz Boys entourage, mixing up Rare Groove, Funk, Hip-Hop and early House music. Earning a reputation for mashing up the dance in next to no time, Spice soon made the logical step up to pirate radio, gaining a regular slot on Londons infamous Fantasy FM.

Finding employment in distribution initially for Pacific and then SRD in the late 80s, Spice took the step up to A&R a few years later and joined forces with Soapbar Records and Total Music Records, whom for the latter he ran record shop Total Music in Bethnal Green. Label artists included Moby, Judge Jules, T Power and plenty more of the dance music scenes movers and shakers, earning Spice valuable industry experience from the years of 1991-5. Climbing up the next rung of the career ladder into the production arena, he released on Hardcore Vinyl, Brand New 49T2, DKB, Soapbar Records and rolled out remixes for the mighty Suburban Base and Black Market International throughout this period.Throughout the first half of his career, Spice repped for a vast number of promoters including Telepathy, Vision, BCM, VIVID, Labyrinth, Breakfast Club, Enigma, Heaven On Earth, Biology, Soundshaft and many, many more.In the years following the turn of the millennium, Spice's stature as a DJ grew from strength to strength, hooking up with legendary pirate Kool FM for a regular show he holds to this day.
