As with most dj's/producers etc, Graham has a definite obsession with music that stems back to his early teens in the late 80's. His love of U.S Hip-Hop led to an interest in the rising hip-house music coming out of the U.K, with acts such as Bomb The Bass. After years of collecting records tapes and cd's he began djing just before the turn of the

millenium and has enjoyed great success since, playing at venues across the country and more recently in Lima, Peru. Over the last 18 months he has begun working on his own productions, under the "Montgomery Punk" moniker and currently has three finished tracks.

Graham sound is a slightly varied one, not one for pigoen-holing, he plays a broad range of house, mainly based around bass-driven, deep house. He likes to take his sets on twists and turns but depending on the venue, he plays a blend of deep house with edges of a more jacky, west-coast influenced groove that can take in elements of electro. Graham has held several residencies in the past four years and has guested for various promoters in The UK including Slinky and Cool House. This has seen him warm-up or play on the same bill as the likes of: Nic Fanciulli, Gregg Vickers and Omid 16B.

In May 2004, Graham won a competition run by Cardiff promoters to find the best dj who had guested for them at their late bar night at BSB bar. In June 2005 he came 2nd in a competition run by Steppin' Decks DJ Agency in Newcastle, England. February 2006 saw Graham play his first international gigs in Lima, Peru.

Cardiff's monthly house night promoters 'Cool House' have a fortnightly radio show on GTFM 106.9 which broadcasts to the South Wales and across the globe online. In November 2005 Graham was asked to help produce and present the show. Every second

Thursday you can catch him and one of the Cool House resident dj's mixing some of the hottest new tracks out there. Each show is 3 hours long and features a special guest mix from some of the best dj's in the world. Previous guest mixes have come from; Nic Fanciulli, Scott Bradford, Phil Weeks, Justin Long, Joey Youngman, Peace Division etc.
