Monday Mood & Reflections …. 🎶

It’s time to switch things up on the ‘gram’ as I re-emerge in music & reignite a passion that carried me for many years as a DJ & radio presenter on the ‘House Music’ scene.

For those of you that are new to my page, hi 👋, & welcome to my colourful world. As you can see by my previous content, iv shown up predominantly in my passion for holistic wellness, which I love and adore and which nourishes my soul daily. My first love, being music, has taken a back seat for a while, a hiatus over a good few years to bring me to the wholesome version of me, that I am today. Let’s just say “after-party” is no longer in my vocabulary 😉.

🎧 I go by “LITTLE LEIGH” as my DJ name, a nickname that was passed on by a dear fellow DJ friend from many moons ago and yes, I am rather “little” in size, so hence the name.

🌍 My music career spans both local & abroad but predominately international. I was based in London for several years, travelled & toured Europe, had residencies at Pacha, Ministry of Sound & played annually for the world renowned Ibiza opening parties and have some seriously amazing stories of my adventures around the globe as a DJ. I know this sounds cliché but I truly lived a “rockstar” lifestyle which to this day puts a smile on my face & gratitude in my heart for the wonderful memories and experiences.

🪩 I must be honest, I thought I’d be able to just pick up where I left off in terms of getting back into DJing but yeahhhhhh … uhm … no. Iv grown, iv changed, iv healed, iv learnt valuable lessons & I’m a totally different version of me, there is no going back to the old, there is only moving forward with the new. New sounds, new styles of music, new collaborations and a new zest for this passion that lives forever in my heart and gets me through the more challenging times in life. Music has saved me countless times.

💃 I look forward to sharing this journey with you as I reflect on times gone by and get excited for the new times that lie ahead.

Music is the answer.
