Starting his musical career at the age of 12, Sharooz began playing guitar in punk bands in his native Northern Ireland during the mid-90s, before beginning to produce dance music and start DJing around 1998. His first gigs took the form of live PAs, playing alongside the likes of King Unique, Peace Division and Inland Knights at the legendary Smokescreen free parties. Soon Sharoozs DJing profile began to rise, leading to gigs at Space and Cafe Mambo in Ibiza, Turnmills in London and Passion in Coalville to name but a few. Over the past 7 years Sharooz has DJed alongside such luminaries as Pete Tong, Marshall Jefferson, Terry Francis and even Shaun Ryder
