I’m not quite sure I can put into words what today means to me. Music has been my whole life. From those early days of falling in love with records and DJing, to travelling the world and sharing that love with so many people, I’ve never stopped being grateful that I get to do what I do. To receive my OBE from Prince William at Windsor Castle today, recognising nearly 50 years of doing something I absolutely love, is beyond anything I could have imagined. ❤️‍🔥 I’ve been thinking a lot about my mum and dad today. I know just how proud they would have been, and I wish they could have been here to share this moment with me. This honour means so much, not just to me personally, but because of where our music has come from and how far it has travelled. To see dance music recognised in this way is something I’m immensely proud of. To my family, friends, everyone who has believed in me, supported me and danced with me over the years, thank you. You’ve all been part of this. My heart is very full today. I’m proud, humbled and deeply honoured. Thank you, Carl.
