About Drifta

Born in a quiet London suburb, Drifta AKA Chris Demello had an early exposure to music by way of old hip hop, reggae, jazz, soul and funk records. After conquering piano and drums, his love of music led him behind the turntables. By the age of 16 he was playing ragga and jump up at his first house party, but he soon discovered a love for the more soulful sounds of drum & bass around 2004. After years of spending endless amounts of money on slowly building a record collection, Chris was just itching to share it with the nation.
