Born and raised in Manly, David Justin Carlino found inspiration in the city’s club and dance scene from a young age. Growing up and working in bars and club security shifts, surrounded by pulsating beats and electrifying melodies, he developed a passion for creating music that unites groups of young partygoers.

Carlino also gave a statement referring to the post-pandemic decline in nightlife, stating “Clubs honestly never recovered properly since COVID, i know this for a fact by doing bar shifts at multiple venues which years before had lines down the street, now it feels so quiet and it hurts me”. 

With Carlino’s music and mixing of energetic beats, he aspires to ‘bring back the culture’ of young nightlife in Sydney and thus has entered the ‘YourShot’ Competition to raise awareness for his name and music input.
