Whilst also being asked to DJ at high profile media events, a few recent parties being the premiers of Aladdin, The Lion King and Jesus Christ Superstar along with celebrity parties for Prince, Madonna, Samuel L. Jackson, Mariah Carey, Wyclef Jean and Maxwell. Following his early days career in his home turf it wasn't long before the East End gave way to the bright lights and far more multicultural mix of people ton be found in the west end. Beginning to sample the delights of venues like the Africa Centre and The Electric Ballroom, Brian was inspired by Trevor 'Madhatter' Nelson, Jazzie B, Norman Jay and Paul 'Trouble' Anderson. This confirmed his resolve to turn what was at he time a fascinating hobby into a career. Soon he got a job in the record section of the Soul II Soul shop along side Trevor, who Brian considers as one of the most influential people around him at a time when he was trying to establish himself and create his own style. Brian is hailed as one of R&B's most talented DJs combining the ability to not only ensure those he is entertaining have a good night but simultaneously remaining true to his musical genre.
