Im an allrounder Dj, who loves Soulful Vocal House. My music policy is quality music that creates a good atmosphere for the people to dance to music with no barriers, it needs to be exciting, soulful tough and funky.I’ve been playing Vinyl Record since young. My Dad had a lot of 45inch & 12inch LP´s. In 1981 The nick name Amethyst was born. Its My Birth Stone & Dj Name and it all started from my body popping & roller skating & love for all types of music.

My very first Record that I ever bought at the age of 15 was
“The Theme Tune to Space Invaders” by Yellow Magic. It was Paul Anderson who got me into deejaying. I used to go to hear him playing at the Sugar & Spice & Electric Ballroom. My R&B Sound was called “Catch the Beat”. I used to go to the Steve Walsh Soul Weekender and spend much time in Clubs like Royalty,  Pink Elephant, Electric  Ballroom, Bentley and Lyceum. But my love for music always was more various.

I love a good Reggie Sound Clash. Saxon was my number 1
Sound System, also to mention Sir Coxsone ,King Tubby,
Fat Man and Unity & Stone Love.I got into Acid House when Rave Music was at it`s best. Our firm was called MFI, ” Mad For It”
We were up there with Centerfore,  Biology, Rain Dance,
Rat Pack Promised Land  and Sunrise. I was a West End Dj for 19 years and played in all the Top West End clubs.I also worked as a resident Dj at “Chinawhite” for 5 years and after at  the “Funky Buddha”  for 6 years.
