DJ Qʼs musical journey started from a young age listening to music played by his parents. It was at the age of 12 when Q first got involved with the UK Garage scene, buying vinyls and tape packs. When his vinyl collection grew larger Q finally got a pair of record decks in his bedroom. After teaching himself to mix Q started to get bookings at local parties at the age of 15.

Producing came at the age of 16 when he attended college (BTEC National Diploma, Music Technology)

Q's break came was when he was invited on as a guest on one of the UKG shows to showcase a few of the songs he produced. While at the station he dropped off a mix CD, and was later asked to host a show on one of the UK's leading radio stations. Q Joined 1xtra in 2004 as a DJ to host the UKG Mixshow, being the youngest DJ at the station he brought a new energy and sound to the airwaves.
