About Nicola

London-based DJ with 25+ years experience, spanning jazz, soul, funk and disco through to house and deeper electronic music.
DJ
London
Public liability insurance of £5 million

I'm an Italian-born DJ based in London, playing regularly across members clubs, restaurants, bars and private events. I'm equally comfortable on vinyl or digital and enjoy adapting each set to the space and occasion - whether that means shaping the music around an intimate setting or gradually building the energy for the dancefloor.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

My music selection, versatility, professionalism and friendly approach. :)

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Too many to list after 26 years! 😁 From clubs and festivals to members clubs, restaurants, bars, fashion and private events, across UK and Italy.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

Michael Jackson would probably be at the top, but my biggest influence has always been music itself rather than individual artists: jazz, funk and soul, then hip hop, rap and dance music through the 90s, followed by what we used to call classic house in the late 90s and early 2000s.

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

I worked on the organisation and running of a Bob Sinclar’s 2010 concert in Italy for around 6,000 people, and I've performed three times at QYSP in Hackney Wick, an annual festival attracting around 10.000 people.

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

Communication is the key and I don't get more than a booking a day, therefore there won't be any problem :)

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

I'm a DJ 😁

How much time do you need to set up?

It's always about the venue and the equipment but usually 15min are enough, 1 hour before starting.

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

It's something we can discuss about 😊

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

I'm not a mobile DJ but always happy to help and meet the clients' needs.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

I'm a DJ. 😁
