He bagged his first up north gig at ‘Players Bar’ and took the city by storm playing at clubs, bars and events, to name ‘Mint Club’, ‘Mint Warehouse’, ‘The Warehouse’, ‘Sleepinischeatin’, ‘Mission’, ‘Mint Festival’, ‘Mobo Awards’ and many many more.
Shelli's style can be related to Garage, Grime, Uk Funk and House mixed together. He loves deep bass, catchy vocals and epic build ups.

And now teaming up with the very talented Curt, their sounds are going to be quite amazing.
