With a career that has spanned over 15 years in the UK Asian music industry award winning DJ SonnyJi has been part of the UK Asian Underground music movement, played to clubbers from Poland to San Francisco as well as some of the biggest festivals on his home turf from Glastonbury to Bestival. His Ground breaking mix show ‘The Bhangra Mixtape’ which aired on the BBC Asian Network from 2007 has been revered by fans worldwide, set the bench mark on how eastern beats can be mixed into western rhythms and during it’s 5 years on air remained the most listened to show on the BBC iplayer feature.

It all started in the mid 90‘s, in his bedroom at the age of 15 when SonnyJi started to learn how to mix music taking in the sounds of UK Bhangra as well as the classic Bollywood music he would hear played from his parents stereo. But you can’t ignore mainstream music when you’re growing up in England and while he absorbed the music of his roots and culture his tastes grew in other areas covering such diverse ground as Daft Punk, The Prodigy, Michael Jackson, Prince, The Chemical Brothers and even Queen! Honing DJ’ing at family parties, day timer student events as well as small wedding functions his confidence grew with each performance as time went on.
