MJ Sly is one of the most highly sought after DJs in the UK urban club scene having built a reputation around the country as a versatile selector able to play a wide range of musical genres to a high standard. An eclectic DJ, who has spent the past 13 years perfecting his skills and widening his musical knowledge, MJ Sly currently performs at key urban events in the South of England. DJing began as a fun hobby at the age of 12. As an avid follower of the UKG scene in the mid-late 90's MJ Sly began playing House & Garage and was lucky enough to have an older brother with Technics 1210's and boxes full of vinyl!! In the following years, MJ Sly quickly expanded his selection to include Soul/Swing/RnB/HipHop/Dancehall. In 2002, MJ Sly moved to Cardiff to attend University and quickly became one of the capital's most popular DJs holding various residencies around the capital city, including the infamous Thursday night 'Fresh City' session at Liquid, Cardiff. This night featured weekly guests from Kiss & 1Xtra and allowed MJ Sly to play regularly alongside Westwood, HLC, Shortee Blitz, EZ and the other leading broadcasters in the UK. He also featured on Kiss 101 on several occasions, supported US artists Twista & Cassidy on tour and played for 2 consecutive years at Wales' biggest music festival 'Escape into the Park'.
In 2006, MJ Sly returned to the Greater London area and decided to start his own club night 'SexyBack'. This mid-week session in Windsor fused the new emerging funky house sounds coming out of London with classic RnB/Hip Hop and ran each Wednesday for 18 months. The club night is now widely regarded as the first weekly event to spread the emerging 'funky house' sound outside of London. MJ Sly performed each week alongside residents DJ Pioneer (now of Kiss FM), Supa D (Rinse FM) and many more. As Head of the Atlantic Street Team in the Greater London area, this club night provided a platform for showcasing and promoting new music on behalf of the label. MJ Sly went on to produce a mixtape for Jamaican artist Cham in 2007 of which 20,000 copies were distributed around the UK by Warner Records.
Since 2009, MJ Sly has gone from strength to strength giving out over 5000 mix CDs showcasing his musical interests in House, RnB, Old Skool Garage & Dancehall and networking with DJs/Promoters nationwide to secure club bookings across the UK. MJ Sly is currently resident DJ for Reunion VIP, Keep It Funky and One in a Million events in High Wycombe, Bristol and London respectively and has been DJing further afield in Bahrain (Middle East), Malta (Europe) and St Vincent (West Indies) fusing the many different styles of music he plays together.
