About me
DJ, producer and dance music enthusiast. As a teen growing up in the 00's, I was obsessed with the iconic club sounds of Ministry of Sound and Hedkandi. Since then, I haven't looked back. With over a decade of experience in the music industry, I have spent my years developing myself as an artist, DJing and producing under the alias Valiant (UK), gaining the much needed knowledge in how this ever evolving industry ticks. Inspired by the ever changing dance scene, over past few years I have released a number of solo singles and EP's, as well as a collection of remixes and collaborations on successful progressive imprint's Silk Music (Mostercat), Emergent Music, Freegrant Music and more. Continuing to grow with every release, I have gained continued support from the likes of BBC Introducing and artists across the globe including the names; Paul Van Dyk, Kyau & Albert, Stonebridge and Andi Durrant (Kiss FM) to name a few. I live and breathe music and sharing my love for it has always been important to me. Over the years I have not only developed my own sound but also the reputation of taste-maker. After years of focusing on the progressive house sound, 2019 saw me start my 'Dance Anthems' brand, which I set out to focus on and promote the best dancefloor tracks from around the world through a weekly curated Spotify playlist named 'Dance Anthems', accompanied by a monthly mixed radio show. My outlook now is to continue to grow, meet new people, learn new areas of the industry and build a lifelong career in music.

    Brand Rework - Upfront House Projects2020 is the last year of my progressive releases having accomplished everything I wanted in that style. Now that my taste has moved onto other genres, like shared in my Dance Anthems playlist, I wanted my sound to represent that. The focus on more upfront club house projects has seen me start afresh and allowed me to learn new sound design and mixing techniques, as well as develop a whole new sound for my brand.
