I’ve always personally and professionally been impressed by the incredible and life-changing work that Last Night A DJ Saved My Life do globally ever since meeting Jonny Lee way back in the early days of the Brighton Music Conference.

Their mission has always struck a chord with me… pardon the pun. I’ve always wanted to be involved and help support them because music can change lives.

In January 2025, Last Night A DJ Saved My Life is returning to Tanzania with the inspiring ‘Get Equipped’ project and I've been invited to come along to help out and support the team.

I'll be working alongside the incredible Darren Jay and Trevor Fung, Ellie Talebian and Jonny Lee and we will take DJ equipment to the youth at Angels Gate and share the transformative power of music through DJing and music production workshops.

Some of the kit is being provided by Pioneer DJ and Alpha Theta and I've had some training with these guys recently that I can hopefully pass on at the project in Angels Gate, Tanzania.

The boys at Angels Gate have faced incredibly tough life experiences. Many are street-involved and have struggled in traditional educational settings.

Since music and art education are not formally integrated into the curriculum, many children and young people lack access to these vital creative opportunities.

Yet, anyone involved in the music world understands how profoundly such education can inspire, uplift, and foster positivity.

This project gives them something invaluable: exploring their creativity in a safe, supportive space. Through music, they can build confidence, discover new talents, and find a positive outlet.

I’ve witnessed the transformative power of music and the arts in my career on many levels over 35 years and seen how it has changed people’s lives. Music is a magical vehicle to help develop so many other transferable life skills, which can be fundamental in changing young people’s lives for a lifetime.

Please give what you can because without the fantastic work these charities do globally, the world would be a darker place for many less fortunate people! Thank you!
