He went on to be the man behind acts such as: Amen UK (Positiva Records), De Funk, A vs.B, Supafly Inc, and PACJAM to name but a few. Although Mister P confesses he can neither play a musical instrument nor be seen on the dance floor, the chances are, if you've been anywhere near a dance floor in the last year, you've heard his latest production.
