Horny Trumpet

You can keep him entertained at dinner parties by gossiping or idly chatting about current affairs. He can keep you entertained on the dancefloor with any number of patented moves. He is Tenzin.

Thirty minutes on the dancefloor with Tenzin providing the soundtrack will usually leave most clubbers wanting what?
At around the 30 minute mark most clubbers are usually squeezed up against the front row. So I guess they’d probably want a bit more dancing space. 

To be a globally celebrated party hound, what must one do to achieve such status?
You need to train your liver from a very young age. It also helps to have parents who are alcoholics. It's not something you can learn; you’re either born with it or not.

When you head to Brisbane for a show, you always think of what?
I always, always think crazy crowds, amazing shows and even better after parties. 

Do you enjoy getting away from the Sydney scene, playing to audiences who don’t get to see you each week?
Yeah, definitely. I haven't been playing in Sydney much at all recently. It's really great to have a fresh crowd excited to see you play.

To the honest layman, can you describe what is was like being the musical director at all the shows at Australian Fashion Week?
Well it's pretty good on the day of the runway shows; heaps of pretty girls etc. But there is a lot of pre-production work that goes into getting everyone happy with their music.

You’re at a dinner party; what conversation threads would keep you entertained?
Current affairs or gossip.

Any plans to get busy in the studio?
My new single 'Horny’ is coming out very soon through Onelove, which is a collaboration with none other than my best mate, Timmy Trumpet.

Has Charlie Sheen’s steam finally run out?
I gargled 30mls of tiger blood every morning last week; it really fixes a hang over, but Charlie's days are numbered.
