DJ
Title
I don’t just play music. I bring a vibe, energy and an atmosphere.
As seen on TV: Me Before You, Trollied, Black Mirror, Brassic and more…
Venues including: The Langley, One Belgravia, Royal Albert Hall, Hotel Du Vin and more…
I’ve been a professional actor since 2004 and a professional DJ since 2007. My dodgy accent hails from Burnley in Lancashire. I now live in Royal Tunbridge Wells in Kent – via London!
High school and college happened in Lancashire while drama school happened in South Kensington, London.
I attended the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art and studied alongside my peers Rupert Friend, Natalie Dormer, Elyes Gabel, Tom Mison and Joe Anderson.
As A DJ, I’ve played for Sex and The City actress Kim Cattrall, for Ministry of Sound, for the Royal Shakespeare Company, for the O2 Academy Brixton, the Playboy Club, the Royal Albert Hall, the BBC Comedy department, wrap parties, press night parties, Christmas parties(!) and at festivals, at bars, clubs and restaurants across Europe.
Alongside that, I’ve been a wedding DJ for a number of years and hold a glut of 5-star reviews from newly-wedding couples and I’m a premium-listed DJ.
Believe me, I know how to rock an audience – it’s what I do for a living(!)
I play everything from house to hip-hop disco to dancehall, from swing to salsa and from country to cha-cha. It’s my genre-swapping nature and theatrical personality behind-the-decks that marks me different from other DJs in my field. Well, THAT and……
When I’m not DJing, I’m often pretending to be other people. I’ve appeared in TV shows such as Catastrophe, 24: Live Another Day, Black Mirror, Casualty, Death on the Tyne, Year of the Rabbit, Trying, Wolfe, Ten Percent, Trollied and, of course, Brassic! And…. in t’pictures in Me Before You, The Hatching, Matilda the Musical and Wonka. In theatre, I’ve done lengthy stints with the Royal Shakespeare Company, the National Theatre, the Bush Theatre and others. During the height of Covid-19, I was the face and voice of ASDA – fronting a 12-month campaign of heart-warming and achingly-funny commercials!
Testimonials
“We were very lucky to have Muzz DJ at our wedding 3 years ago! He was fabulous as always and played everything we requested and all the guests loved him! He even had the grandparents up dancing! Would highly recommend!”
Emily Jane Mather, The MacDonald Hotel, Manchester“Muzz did the main DJ set at our wedding. Not only was he happy to play the music we requested but he also threw in some grand mixes of his own that suited the mood perfectly when it all got a bit more rowdy towards the end.
Nice chap, too.”
Chris Getliffe, The Trafalgar Tavern, Greenwich“Muzz is one of, if not the, best DJ we could have possibly asked for. He brings the skills and tunes of a proper club DJ along with the understanding of a good friend. Mixing ‘classics’ with ‘floorfillers’ as well as totally u- to-date stuff that keeps everyone, across the generations, happy but also keeping it cool. He finds a sweet spot between wedding and club style that really nailed what we were looking for, while also having the ability to read the crowd and play exactly what’s needed to set the pace of the night. Beyond the music, Muzz has a great energy and wonderful passion for music that’s sure to get you what you need. Thanks Muzz!”
Oliver Gibson, Private Chateau, L’Isle-en-Dodon, South of France“Muzz DJ’ed at one of our legendary BBC Comedy Christmas parties and was amazing. The music choices were brilliant – we asked for Christmas, disco, indie, dance, cheese and guaranteed floor-rockers and he truly delivered and was a huge hit. Everyone chips into the party and to please such a wide and diverse bunch of people can be a tough gig but we danced all night and had an amazing night.”
Charlotte Lamb, BBC Comedy Department, BBC London“Mark and I wanted to say a huge thank you for DJing at our engagement party! It was an unbelievably amazing night and everyone had a blast hitting shapes on the dance floor! We had so many compliments from guests afterwards and we will certainly be recommending you to anyone looking for a DJ.”
Sophia Tincey, The Driver, King’s Cross, London“What can I say about this man other than he is the best of the best. He is hard-working, enthusiastic and his love of music – and his laugh – is infectious. Muzz DJ’ed at our wedding in Kent 9 years ago, being house music lovers ourselves he knew exactly what we wanted playing and he didn’t fail to deliver. Extremely professional, extremely loveable and extremely good at his job(s).
Not sure if you can tell by this review but we love you, Muzz.”
Lisa Smith, High Rocks, Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent“Muzz played a KILLER set at our wedding and had everyone dancing for hours. We are so grateful for the amazing set and the energy he brought to our wedding.”
Karenina Gilliland, The Old Joinery, London“Muzz you’re an absolute hero! Thanks so much for DJing at our wedding last weekend. You helped top off what was such an amazing day for us. First the band and then your kind self playing an absolutely storming little set for us just made it. There was so much energy and you kept everyone going til the end. Loved watching you jump around on stage, too. You played all the tracks we asked you to play and mixed them all together with absolute style! Thanks so much Muzz! Legend! Superstar DJ, indeed! Lots of love, Kish & Lucinda.”
Kishan Gokaraju, The Grove, Chandler’s Cross, Hertfordshire“Alex and I had our civil partnership and were pleased as punch to have secured Muzz’s services. His anarchy (and energy) behind the decks were exactly what we needed to keep everyone happy at our event (that’s keeping the gays dancing and the heteros happy too!) Hahaha! Joking aside, he was top drawer and played all of our favourite guilty pleasures. We loved him.”
Howard Wilmot, Dalston Heights, London“Muzz is an absolutely BRILLIANT DJ. We were so happy when he was our wedding DJ last summer. He is a really nice guy and a very fun person to have there on the day.
Muzz told us he was an actor and we were having difficulty with our first dance. Muzz came up with the suggestion to help us choreograph it. And, as crazy as it sounds, we let him and he did! The three of us rehearsed it and it went great. Now, THAT’S something not every wedding DJ can do!
Everyone danced ALL night, including me and Paul, and it was one of the true highlights of the day. So many of our friends and family commented on how good he was, even weeks and months afterwards. I cannot recommend him more highly. Fantastic!!
Jenny Schwefel, The Samuel Pepys, London“We were lucky enough to have Muzz DJ at our wedding on the 21st May 2017. He communicated with us really well as to the type of music we wanted and was very proactive in his correspondence with us in the weeks prior. On the day, he was punctual, efficient and very organised. When it came to the party, Muzz was really entertaining and his energy and enthusiasm was infectious to us and our guests. He really made it the best day ever! So many of our guests have mentioned the DJ in their post-wedding compliments. He left a lasting impression. Cannot recommend this wonderful man enough!!!”
Natalie Bamunuwatte, Devonshire Terrace, LondonMuzz…. It all began in a bar where he was DJ-ing. He looked great, and sounded even better! He was so excited when we asked him to DJ at our wedding! We couldn’t have asked for more, he gave us the best party! All that we wanted and made the dance floor go off. It was like having a friend there with us on the most special day!
We love you Muzz. You’re the best. Huge love, Mr & Mrs Phillips xxxx
Jodie Phillips, Hendall Manor Barns, Uckfield, KentMuzz is a great DJ!! He brought a fantastic level of energy to my 18th, and is very friendly and easy going, and most importantly ensured that everyone hit the dance floor!!! I couldn’t have asked for more – thank you! Finn 🙂 xx
Finn Thompson, Private Party, Private Residence, Sussex“Well what can I say? Muzz has to be one of the most unique and most talented DJs I know! He was the DJ at our wedding recommended by a friend and I couldn’t have been happier! Muzz played everything we asked for and more and then even played a live mix for our first dance which he pulled off amazingly! I would highly recommend him to anyone who has a great taste in music and loves a good dance! Muzz even stayed later than originally expected when we asked without hesitation! Awesome DJ – enough said!
Sarah Kray, Chilston Park Hotel, Maidstone, Kent“Muzz is fantastic!! A great and friendly character! His DJing was on point!! He has done two parties for us now. We had booked him for our Christmas party, and just had to get him back for our New Year’s Eve party! Both times he had everyone dancing. Not an easy feat when you have as diverse a bunch as we do! We definitely look forward to working with Muzz again very soon.”
Alistair Leuchars, New Zealand High Commission, Trafalgar Square, London“I met Muzz when he was DJing in the Tunbridge Wells Bar and Grill and loved his music, so much so that I had to let the other DJ I’d booked down. Muzz has great energy and knows just how to work the crowd. I couldn’t recommend this guy more!! Thanks for making my big birthday very special.”
Nicky Simpson, Jean’s, Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent
