I only started DJing a few years ago and to think that those amazing judges have listened to my mix and that I’ll be playing to thousands of music fans at Scotland’s biggest festival in a few weeks is amazing.

I feel so lucky and it’s a real dream come true.“TRNSMT always gets the best weather, so people can expect some sunny summer tunes!
