BIOGRAPHIE

Fergie started DJing 'Pumping Garage' and 'Bouncy House' in his small bedroom in Larne Belfast in Northern Ireland at the early age of 12. He played his first club at the age of 14 called Airport 2000 standing on a milk crate, shortly after his set he was thrown out by the police for being too young. He later went on to exhaust Ireland's club scene by the time he was 16.

It was at this time he was playing at The House night-club in Larne Northern Ireland when he was heard by Tony de Vit who was to play after him. Tony was amazed by the talent of this young lad peering over the decks and asked him to play a bit longer so he could listen. Shortly after Tony invited Fergie to England to introduce him to the English club scene where he played more clubs but still aspired for more...

Fergie has had radio experience in Ireland and in England playing on Club FM Dublin, Cool FM Belfast and guested on Kiss FM London a couple of times being interviewed and mixing live.
