KTNY

The man behind KTNY, Derek Pettigrew, bought his first DJ controller at 13. While his roots lie in Creston, the move to Fernie and influence from DJs in the Elk Valley saw his creativity thrive. Driven by an appetite for the stoke, his creative expression craves the atmosphere of electronic music. “Music is one of the only things on this planet that can switch my mood on a dime,” he says. “A song can remind me of memories, and it brings me back. It’s my safe zone. It’s my happy place... House is where my heart lies for sure."
