His vast skillset has led him to produce and engineer releases for the likes of Bru-C (on his number 3 UK album ‘Smile’), Harleighblu, Devilman, MC Spyda, Irah and more. He has toured with UK Hip Hop legend Klashnekoff as his DJ, written and performed as part of a live orchestra for Natalie Duncan and worked as studio engineer for Wiley. Closer to home, Origin One is a key player in the Nottingham community and is the director and owner of the city’s well established DTR Studios, supporting an endless string of UK artists.
Over the past 15 years Origin One has cultivated his distinct production sound by drawing inspiration and experimentation from UK Garage, Grime, Jungle, DnB, Dancehall, Hip Hop, Reggae and Dub, which he has effortlessly blended into a new generation of UK influenced bass music, rooted by Soundsystem Music as the core value. Origin One has worked with the likes of MC Spyda, Garnda, XL Mad (Numa Crew) and Irah, releasing music on imprints including Nice Up!, Tru Thoughts, Scotch Bonnet Records, Off Me Nut Records, Mimm, Raider Records, Irish Moss, Born On The Road, Deeper Than Roots Records and Totally Dubwise. His interpretation of ‘Roots Music’ has received support and recognition from the likes of David Rodigan, Don Letts, Toddla T, Jamz Supernova and Dean Jackson (BBC Radio Nottingham). Also an accomplished DJ, he has appeared at Shambala, Boomtown, Soundwave Festival Croatia, Bestival, Detonate and more.
