He's been filming for over 12 years, and spinning for over 30 years (from England to Toronto).

At the age of 8, Stephen was first taught to spin by his father started in England. His father had been a dj in Jamaica & England from the 50's to the 70's) and went by the name of Count Sweet Foot the Ruler (nuff said!)

Growing up with SKA, Blue Beat & Reggae, and spinning in the U.K in the 70's offered a wide variety of musical styles and Stephen embraced them all. If you approach Stephen on the topic of music, artists, & styles, his usual response is Don't Get Me Started!

Stephen moved from England to Western Canada for 8 years and pioneered new styles in Winnipeg & Calgary. He then moved to Toronto in 1990. Over the years Stephen has secured residency at some of the most pivotal Toronto establishments; Ultra Supper Club (1.5 years), the West Lounge (first 2.0 years) , Red Drink Boutique (first 2.0 years) , Alto Basso (4.5 Years RUDE Saturdays), Atlas, 222, Delux, Rivoli, the Phoenix Lounge, the Mockingbird, the Original Octopus Lounge (2.0 years Saturdays) , Bala Falls, Muskoka (3 years) and need he go on? . All residencies have extended from 2 years to 5 years, testament to the quality of music programming offered by Stephen and his ability to keep people coming back. In 2004, he was awarded the Best DJ (Alternative Styles) Award at the Stella Artois Bartender's Ball (at the Liberty Grand).

Over the last 3 years alone, Stephen has been selected to DJ private events for Prince, Maxwell, Alicia Keyes, John Legend, Robert Plant, Robert DeNiro, Vince Vaughn, The Toronto International Film Festival, Brittany Murphy & Facebook.

He and other seasoned djs have spun through the Deep Sweat Church like parties and after-hours (that use to run this city) and now deliver music programs to those same crowds in a more mature atmosphere, but he never turns down an opportunity to tear it up!
