About Altoro

---

I first started out as a freelance wedding DJ in 2014, aged 14, building up my music library from House to Motown to RnB. As I progressed, I started my own Mobile DJing business under the 'DJAlexRoberts' name while still continuing to DJ freelance for another Mobile DJ Business. From there, I began to specialise in House music without even realising (I'll assume this is due to my love for the genre) by doing more and more Mobile DJing Gigs and less RnB and Motown Gigs. From there a few years passed and I was approaching 5/6 years in the industry and I decided that I wanted to do move across to the clubbing side of the industry. This is when myself and HealyXGreen began speaking about having me at their event in Hull, East Yorkshire. This was adn still is called Unrestricted Events which took place in Club Vega. This was the biggest breakthrough as a Tech-House DJ as it was my first experience on industry standard equipment.

After returning almost every other week to Unrestricted Events, I moved to Manchester to begin my University studies into Music Production. This was my first move towards releasing my first track.  During my foundation year I was asked by my University to DJ during the Introduction and Ending of SEM Sessions: In Conversation with Solardo. This gave me a chance to DJ under immense pressure as I was playing only meters away from a DJing duo I never thought I had a chance of meeting, let alone perform in front of.  From there, the Coronavirus Pandemic brought restrictions, pubs and clubs closed and Facebook Live became my live mix's new home for the time being.

Since leaving lockdown, I have managed to to gain Friday and Saturday residencies, while setting up a new event with a close friend called 'Sonor Project'. This event brings people minimal, house and tech-house on the last Friday of each month, in Manchester's Northern Quarter.

On February 10th 2022, my first track was released onto all major streaming and downloading platforms. This is a huge step in the right direction.
