Biography

His song "The Calling", featuring Ivy Mairi, entered the UK Singles Chart at number 118 following a placement on BBC Radio 1's A List playlist. The song also featured as the station's Track of the Day and appeared on its In New Music We Trust playlist.[3] LaVice has also officially remixed the likes of Nero, Wilkinson, Rudimental and A-Trak and supported The Prodigy on their 2015 UK arena tour.

In October 2017, it was announced that LaVice would be taking over as host of BBC Radio 1's long-running drum and bass show, from the previous host of 6 years, Friction (who took over from Fabio & Grooverider), in November 2017.[4] His final show was on 29 August 2022.
