A Bathgate plumber has swapped his career for the main stage of a massive music festival.
LY Open Air Festival has announced local DJ and producer Christian Rogers will play the main stage of the electronic festival this May.
The 23-year-old West Lothian lad has recently ditched his career as a plumber to take up DJing full-time following his latest record being signed by Method - the same label which found the likes of Sam Smith & Disclosure.
Christian turned his hand to DJing when being gifted his first decks for his 15th birthday and started gigging when he was just 18 years old.
Now, his latest single ‘Give Me Your Love (Baby)’ – a genre-bending crowd pleaser – has taken over the Soundcloud charts and has had nearly 1.6million streams.
Christian is the latest in a string of forward-thinking dance acts that are pushing Scotland’s reputation for farming dance music superstars such as Calvin Harris, Ewan McVicar & LF System.
Speaking ahead of the festival, he said: “I was until only recently working full-time as a plumber. That was until my latest track ‘Give Me Your Love (Baby)’ went slightly viral! So, I made the bold decision last month to pack away my tools and focus on DJing full-time. I can’t wait to join the Team at FLY and play Hopetoun House next month. It’s a dream come true.”
