​

Sekrit found a love for hip-hop and drum n bass in the mid-90s. His interest in these artforms led him into DJing & producing beats under a previous alias for underground hip-hop artists. During this period he had DJ slots on BBC 1Xtra & Choice FM (now Capital Xtra).

​

In his later teens Sekrit became hooked on particular albums from The Roots, D’angelo, Erykah Badu and Common. One of the main reasons for this was the raw live drums, producing tight yet ‘human feel’ hip-hop beats. This along with being influenced by electronica music planted a seed for what was to come later, in bringing his beat-making and live drumming worlds together. As well as hip-hop, Sekrit grew up also listening to the likes of Radiohead, Bjork, Roni Size, Talvin Singh, Leftfield, Afro Celt and

DJ Shadow.

​

2011 began a new adventure for Sekrit in learning the tabla. He was captivated by the instrument from his trip to India in addition to being exposed to Bollywood, Indian classical and fusion music years before, but after seeing Talvin Singh perform (with whom he later had lessons with), he decided to take up the instrument and implement it into his own music. This added a new dimension in expressing himself musically.
