MUSIC / PLAYLIST
My passion for music and mixing
Two of my greatest pleasures
Playing the warm up set
1
Endless fun until the early hours at our house music events in London gave me the opportunity to do a few VanRocks warm-up sets then relax at the VIP table after with friends and a Vodka, lime, and soda whilst enjoying the headliner DJs do what they do best.

Life is for the living and I made the most of the opportunities presented to me in order to establish the fun and base for my VanRock platform. My love for music isn't restricted to just house music. I love R&B, Soul, Disco, Jazz and Big Band music too. This allowed me to create open format mixes across multiple music genres. I learnt to appreciate house music from scratch when I actually didn't think much of it from the start. When I first visited Ibiza, I didn't even know who Carl Cox .

Hed Kandi nights we promoted for many years was exciting and watching the clubbers enjoy the nights we put on. It was an honour for me to be part of the supporting dj line up too.
Sweet tooth cravings
Life would be dull without chocolates which is an aphrodisiac and cakes!

I showered the private members club in Mayfair with countless gold-dusted chocolates and chocolate fountains for the opening night of London 2012, where the delegates of the Olympics were staying. We even had a Fashion show on the night to celebrate the momentous occasion.

It was totally out of the box when I organised my networking and aperitivo nights in London's top Private members clubs including Movida, China White and Whisky Mist, where I hosted my BellaPinay nights to sold out venues. I was promoting my Chocolate blog at the time and producing Fashion show parties working alongside London College of Fashion graduates, whom I provided a full package including a free platform for showcasing their collections.

Who would have thought that hosting Chocolate parties would be my pre-requisite to the House music industry thanks to my friends and network who believed in me, after witnessing me packing out venues mid week while juggling a full time Accounting job in the Financial Services industry.
