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 night-club’ in Larne Northern Ireland when he was heard by Tony De Vit, who was 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 two weeks with the Vibe magazine playing in all the major cities. This 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 the 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 second in the 'Best International DJ Awards - Melbourne 99' to Frankie Knuckles beating Roger Sanchez at 3rd place... Fergie is non-stop in the studio producing his new fresh sound, his first track 'Ooh Sir' was available on the Trade label early 1999 and sold out in five days. After the huge success of his first track Fergie was approached to remix the Tamperers new single 'Hammer To My Heart'. Fergie's studio work started to peak after the summer of 1999, with original tracks and remix's on many well known record labels.
"He could mix vinegar and lemons and still produce cream "MixMag 1999
The end of 1999 saw Fergie’s biggest achievements pre-millennium. Fergie was nominated as one of the 'Best up and coming DJs of 1999' by Muzik Magazine, then only one 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 lips, Fergie...
In the first two months of 2000 Fergie released numerous other tracks for other well known labels selling well into the thousands. Fergie then went on the land a string of residencies at Godskitchen and the all new super club born from Godskitchen CODE! With Fergie’s first Dance compilation out on Nukleuz records and the front cover CD's on MixMag there in NO stopping the 'Larne Express' know as FERGIE
