About

"I have always had a passion for music. It has an impact on people that can't be
described by words. From the dawn of civilisation rhythm and the beat has allowed people to escape their own realities and unite with others. It is now, more than ever, that we all need to unite again and let the beat take control".
-Citizen.com

Citizen.com began his DJ career in Melbourne in early 2000 playing Break-beat at 3D Nightclub it was not long before he was supporting the likes of Koma and Bones (UK) at Melbourne’s Premier Breaks Night, Fractured at Brown Alley as a resident. No small feat for a relative newcomer to the scene.

Citizens’ early success and obvious talent saw him win first prize in one of Melbourne’s most respected DJ competitions and place second in an Earthcore competition. Citizens’ evolution continued with his involvement in the production of the Fractured, Rock like this, Darkbeat and Soft Spot events becoming more prominent.

In 2006 Citizen answered the calling, abandoned his ambitions as a Biological Scientist to concentrate fulltime on DJing, event production, management and music production. This proved a wise move with 2008 seeing the launch of Citizens hugely successful break-beat weekly BASS CAMP at the Lounge. BASS CAMP has attracted international Breakbeat legends including Feature Cast, Baobinga & ID, Groove Diggerz, Friendly and JHz. As well as having the local and interstate guests routinely destroy the dance floor.

In 2009, Citizen.com became the Marketing and Promotions Manager at the LOUNGE NIGHTCLUB. He was also part owner of Rock Like this Productions, and creator of Soft Spot Productions. He also managed to juggle several side projects including Daredevils and Roxy Moron. As well as working with Scratch Foundation, on his current Project "The Brother Hood of Beats". A promising new Melbourne Label already connecting with artists globally.

Now moving through 2010 Citizen.continues to push forward through the sounds of BREAKBEAT and supporting some of the best acts around the world, along side the ROCK LIKE THIS banner. Such acts include:-
Stanton Warrionrs
