Where do you live: London
What do you do: DJ/ Artist / Producer
Daily philosophy: A diet coke, rock & roll & sex will get you through...
What's your typical day involve: 9am - in my office checking emails, 12 - updating my blogs, websites & all the other music sites I am on.
Afternoons: meetings/ crosstrainer / bikram yoga /
Evenings: 2/3 nights a week I could be DJing at an event, club or traveling to another country or city to spin. The rest of my day I would ideally spend with my boyfriend, brother or sister, who are my best friends :)

Last funny DJ experience: Watching the disastrous acceptance speech of 10 minutes of garbled nonsensical weird stuff by Courtney Love off her head & Mickey Rourke touching up Thandi Newton on stage at the Elle Style Awards where I spun at the after party.
Your fantasy party would involve....
..having a massive Fashbashsoundclash (the party I run in London which merges music & fashion) in a warehouse in East London or New York with crazy outfits, cheap booze & fabulous performances from my band and other creative geniuses
