Moving to London from Australia in late 2001, Friendly launched himself upon the UK breaks scene like an adolescent Godzilla in a bad mood. His first release with Boombox Records (Greedy Filthy Dirty/ F***ing In Public) gained support and respect from many breaks heavy weights and woke up an unsuspecting crowd to his fresh brand of break beat.
Next off the pressing plant was Glottal Stomp/ Foot Rocker through Fat! Records, which gained plays and props from the likes of Hyper, Soul of Man, Meat Katie, Krafty Kuts and Freq Nasty. An all out party cut with a dirty bass line and trademark Friendly production, this still became something of a classic in the breaks scene.
Friendly soon found his musical home with Fat! Records, working closely with Paul Arnold. He is now resident at Chew the Fat nights at The End, The Key, the Bug Bar, as well as touring Australia with Paul for the Fat is Five album launch. Friendly has also played Mother Bar, Rhythm Factory, Catch22, Board X, on Kiss FM, BBC1 with Annie Nightingale, Groovetech and Ministry Radio, all over the UK and over to Budapest.
