Since my Bachelor (with Hons) degree in Radio Broadcasting, I have DJ'd for celebrities, bars, festivals and weddings. Just when you think you've seen it all, you realise you're not even close! I produced & presented London radio shows for 7 years. During that time I was being booked for my first gigs as a DJ. I fell in love with the music and 12 years later I am still DJing all over the UK. Add a little spice to your party and book me as a Bongo Player too! ⚡️ FOMO Events, London ⚡️ HER App Events, Manchester ⚡️ Durham OnAir ⚡️ Soho Radio ⚡️ 95.6 BRFM ⚡️ Radio WAP ⚡️ Glastonbury 2015 ⚡️ L Fest 2018 ⚡️ Deer Shed Festival 2022 ⚡️ William's Den Festival (Summer & Halloween) Energy? ✅ High Feet? ✅ Moving Tunes? ✅ Bumping

Frankie was incredible, perfect vibes for our wedding party. We are so glad we found her, start to finish she was amazing and would 1000% recommend her to everyone!

Extremely happy. We had a disaster with a fall on the dance floor and ambulance arrived but Frankie quickly moved her equipment to the next room without any fuss and she kept the dance mood going

Honestly couldn't recommend Frankie enough! We found Frankie super last minute for our wedding and she still took the time to discuss what we wanted, get the vibe and incorporate our guests requests! Everyone there commented on how great the music was and the dancefloor was full all night. Frankie is super nice and friendly and was absolutely perfect for our wedding. Thank you so much Frankie!

Can not describe how great Frankie is. From the initial chat to the day she played at our wedding reception, Frankie was always there to help and provide us with what we needed and what other things we may not have thought of. Exceptional person and DJ

Frankie was the DJ for my husband's 50th birthday garden party and was totally professional, conscientious and creative throughout. The music that Frankie compiled with my husband's music tastes in mind was absolutely mind-blowing; so much so that my whole family and friends danced under the stars, all night long - I even saw a trendy, young passerby dancing outside our garden gate, who said that the music was 'totally awesome' and asked if he could join the party! Frankie also set up her own lighting equipment, which lit up the whole front of our house with a rotating assortment of cool, retro images. Furthermore, as an expert artist, she seamlessly blended her music around the sessions of a live band and an impromptu singing session with the mic, as well as playing the bongos, which were superb! All in all, you have our deepest gratitude, Frankie, for creating a magical birthday party for everyone to remember. It's our daughter's 21st birthday next year, so we will be in touch again soon!

Thank you so much for being the best DJ i could ever ask for. You are sooooo lovely, and the music you played was just amazing you did such a good job, SO many people were telling me how good you were. Thanks for the best time in the world, honestly couldn't praise you enough!! Thanks again, you made our day so special

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

I receive compliments on my creative mixing abilities and playful presentation style. When the audience is having a good time then I am having a good time! I am good at picking up on a clients music taste after just a few songs.

Dirty Martini, KOKO, Junction, Trinity Harrow, HER App, Soho Radio, 95.6 BRFM, Proud Bar Camden, Scala London, Head Of Steam, Tiger Tiger, Deer Shed Festival '22, L Fest '18, Glastonbury '15, LS6 Cafe, The Biltmore York, The Maven, Slug & Lettuce, TopShop, River Island, Timberland, Pitcher & Piano, The Cavendish, Champs... ...and many more!

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

Deer Shed 2022. I had a time slot in one of the large tents alongside my performing partner at the time, Jonnie One Biscuit. The tent was full of people who turned up just for us! I danced my a$$ off on the stage and the audience loved it. We were asked back again!

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

Good communication makes the strongest partnership! If things change, let me know. I understand that last minute changes happen.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Absolutely. As a pro DJ, all my mixes are live. If you would like me in 2 places at once, I can provide this service.

How much time do you need to set up?

I arrive 1-1.5 hours before your requested set start time. For example, if you would like music from 2000-0000, then I will be there at 1830 to assemble equipment and make sure the technology and music is running smoothly.

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

I curate a playlist after a 1 on 1 meeting with you to discuss your music tastes. This is your celebration after all! All special requests must be made no later than a few days before the event. This gives me time to get the tracks, analyse them in Rekordbox and subsequently export them to my memory sticks.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

I bring a large DJ Booth, DJ Decks (Pioneer XDJ - RX2), PA system (Alto Professional TS415 - Pair), Party lighting, bongos, microphone.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

I will source all your special request songs made in time for the event. My goal is to make your celebration bespoke to you! Just let me know in advance whatever songs you are after.
