Fergie started DJing 'Pumping Garage' and 'Bouncy House' in his small bedroom in Larne Belfast in Northern Ireland at the early age of 12. He played his first club at the age of 14 called Airport 2000 standing on a milk crate, shortly after his set he was thrown out by the police for being too young.

He later went on to exhaust Ireland's club scene by the time he was 16. It was at this time he was playing at The House nightclub in Larne Northern Ireland when he was heard by the late Tony de Vit who was set to play after him. Tony was amazed by the talent of this young lad peering over the decks and asked him to play a bit longer so he could listen. Shortly after Tony invited Fergie to England to introduce him to the English club scene where he played more clubs but still aspired for more...

In the summer of 1997 Fergie toured South Africa for 2 weeks with the Vibe magazine playing in all the major cities. In summer 1998, Fergie played in Ibiza for the first time at Privilege, Space and Bora Bora. His talents were noticed by many including Laurence Malice who immediately made Fergie a regular Trade guest. The first major event Fergie headlined was in November 1998. He toured most of Australia wowing crowds in Sydney and Melbourne making them gag for more. March 1999 saw Fergie's first Transatlantic tour, playing to huge crowds on east coast of the US. Fergie stunned the clubbers of Atlanta, New York and Philadelphia with his talent.

At the age of 18 he was even to young to DRINK! In April 1999 Fergie soon returned to Australia Touring the huge continent once again. He also came 2nd in the 'Best International DJ awards- Melbourne 99' to Frankie Knuckles beating Roger Sanchez at 3rd place... Fergie has also had radio experience in Ireland and in England playing on Club FM Dublin, Cool FM Belfast and he's guested on Kiss FM London a couple of times being interviewed and mixing live. Recently he has been invited to feature on the almighty Radio 1, doing fortnightly Essential Mixes for Pete Tong's Radio show.

Fergie is non-stop in the studio producing his fresh sound, his first track 'Ooh Sir' was available on the Trade label early 1999 and sold out in 5 days. After the huge success of his first track Fergie was approached to remix the Tamperers new single 'Hammer to my heart'. His studio work started to peak after the summer of 1999, with original tracks and remix's on many well-known record label's, such as Tidy Trax and Nukleuz. His releases have been in conjunction with many of the Hard House scene's top producers, including the well-established Paul King (of F1, Trauma and Pants & Corset fame) and with Nukleuz's main man BK. His most recent production 'Deception' was released on the Duty Free label and reached the top thirty in the club charts.

The end of 1999 saw Fergie's biggest achievement's pre-millennium. Fergie was nominated as one of the 'Best up and coming DJ's of 1999' by Muzik Magazine, then only 1 week later, Fergie was voted number 17 best DJ (in the UK) by a MixMag readers poll. MixMag stated that the quotes written in by Fergie's fans were unbelievable! After all the Millennium dust had settled there is one name on everybody's lips, Fergie...

In the first 2 months of 2000 he released numerous other tracks selling well into the thousands. He then went on to land a string of residences at GodsKitchen and the all new Super club born from GodsKitchen CODE! With Fergie's first Dance compilation out on Nukleuz and 7 Records and front cover CD's on MixMag there is NO stopping the 'Larne Express' from increasing his hold on the harder end of the dance music scene.
