His signature sound is euphoric, hard hitting, with elements of Hip Hop, R&B, Drum & Bass and Techno.

From an early age he displayed an obsession with music. He would study Michael Jackson albums in awe of the melodies, the dynamics and would spend hours learning the song lyrics. During the early 90's pirate radio stations played a major role in Enigma9's transition from music fan to artist. The rave scene was intoxicating and Jungle music was the flavour of the moment. Enigma9 produced his first ever beat aged just 12 years old using an entry level Yamaha keyboard where he layered bass samples over a Jungle tempo beat and recorded down to TDK (for those old enough to remember what that is!).

A few years later he also developed a love for House & Garage and Hip Hop music. With close school friends and equipped with belt drive turntables, he learned to mix Garage records and soon also began writing lyrics. By the age of 17, under the alias MC Pasa, he had regular slots on pirate radio and courtesy of PureGarage.com, he had appeared alongside the mighty Heartless Crew as a guest MC on London's infamous Freek FM. Within a year he had secured club residencies with legendary UKG promoters Garage Nation and Sun City. By 2001 he had performed in Ayia Napa with Sun City, held weekly radio shows on Deja Vu, Delight, TKO, Force and Essex FM (now Heart FM) and has been fortunate enough to perform live sets with UKG legends including DJ EZ, So Solid & The Heartless Crew.
