Perth, Australia
David Lotay (Xsessiv) was born in London, England and was brought up being influenced by music such as house, hip hop, garage and early 90's jungle.
He moved from London to Perth Australia at the age of 15 and started attending club and warehouse rave parties in the late 90's at the time Drum & Bass was making it's mark in Perth.
In December of 1999 Dave got on the microphone at a rave called Prism when there were no MC's around at the time, this was the star of a major turning point in Dave's life.
He soon became a common name on flyers and posters performing at events for Perth's all ages rave scene.
In early 2000 David was booked to MC for DJ Fresh & Maldini from Bad Company, being still only 17 at the time he managed to swiftly get past the bouncers when their backs finally turned and made his way to the booth to perform in front of the strongest Drum & Bass crowd Perth had seen.
From 2001 onwards Xsessiv became a common name in Perth's growing Drum & Bass circuit.
