Daddy Russell is a Electronic DJ and Producer from Sicily, living and working in London, UK. He came to London in 1999 for work and to partake in the UK’s underground dance music culture and is now a leading figure in the UK club scene.
He always dreamt of being a DJ/Producer from a young age when he would frequent the clubs near his hometown Catania (Sicily). Every weekend he would be at the clubs from the moment the doors open and be the last one on the dance floor at closing time.
With a whole host of international DJ’s passing through the clubs he would study what they did and eventually it would help Daddy Russell develop himself as an artist.
Although Daddy Russell began incorporating different genres into his DJ sets he never once deviated from his high energy, technical style of DJ’ing.
When it comes to production Daddy Russell keeps the same energy as in his DJ sets and his work rate in this area is second to none.
Working non stop on new productions regardless of location Daddy Russell has been know to churn out multiple tracks in a week.
Daddy Russell likes to draw influence from a multitude of creative art forms not just dance music. Daddy Russell often draws inspiration from film scores and often searches for irregular sounding samples to add to his productions to set himself apart from other producers and add a touch of originality.
He has been performing at Ministry Of Sound, Hideout Festival, Egg London, ADE, O2 academy, Eden Ibiza, Pure Radio Ibiza and more.
