DJ Q is a Huddersfield born DJ who presents a UK garage mix show on BBC Radio 1Xtra. Teamed with MC Bonez, he is also known for his commercial single, "You Wot!".

DJ Q states that he got into being a DJ and presenter by buying records when he was young that weren't available at the time on CD. As his collection grew he bought some proper decks and started DJing in his bedroom and slowly progressed to playing at parties and clubs. He studied a BTEC National Diploma in Music Technology which helped his producing skills.

He joined BBC Radio 1Xtra as a presenter in August 2004. He currently hosts a show, airing on that station, on Wednesday mornings between 1am - 4am.

DJ Q released his most successful single to date, with MC Bonez, titled "You Wot!", enterting the UK Singles Chart in 2008 and staying there for 2 weeks, peaking at number 50. It was also a successful release for the bassline dance music genre which entered the mainstream the previous year (DJ Q has also released many singles with MC Bonez which, while not successful in the mainstream charts, are well-regarded within this genre. They are also made available on his Myspace page, as well as YouTube, and he is also known to play them on his radio show). DJ Q's most recent single, called 'Over Me' featuring Brit School graduate Louise Williams, was released nationally on Q Recordings on 23 May 2011.

He is a supporter of Tottenham Hotspur F.C.
