DJ clears the decks to play for top stars

He started off practising on the decks at his parents two-storey semi-detached home, but now DJ Fricktion aka Naveen Pabbi is brushing shoulders with A-list celebrities and playing at exclusive venues across the globe.

The former student at Britannia High School in Blackheath has already played at private parties for the likes of Rihanna and Amir Khan and supported top acts like Timbaland and Ludacris.

He has played at every major venue in the UK plus venues in New York, Dubai, Las Vegas and Los Angeles, where he goes at least twice a year.

And earlier this year he trumped competition from across the UK to be named Best Mixtape DJ at the Official Mixtape Awards in London.

The best thing about being a DJ is I get to make people happy and make them dance through my choice of music and mixing, said Naveen, who is currently resident DJ at Rococo in Broad Street, Birmingham, and also plays at other venues in the city including Gatecrasher and Bambu.

I get to affect people in a positive way.

Its amazing when people come up to me and ask me for my mixes.

Sometimes I forget Im being paid at the end of the night.

Naveeni, of Dudley Road, Rowley Regis, who is also a music producer, has being DJing for the past 15 years.

He plays a range of styles from hip hop to garage, R&B and bashment.
