In 1998, Rudd won the 'Search for a Star' competition at the Capital Radio Café in Leicester Square, London, with Neil Fox.

[7] Previous to 2011, Rudd had been remixing for Mis-teeq, Alexander O'Neil, Elton John, David Gray and Daft Punk, through Mastermix and DMC.

[1][10] Differing slightly from his earlier releases, Rudd described the track as including "an incessant piano motif, layered with weighty beats and heavy drops", like an "old school club classic with a modern twist".

[7] Rudd's catalogue expanded in May 2012 with the release of "Set Me Free 2012", a remake of the 1986 hit featuring its original singer, Jaki Graham on vocals.

There's so many classics from the 80s being revamped and I was delighted that Paul approached me to re-work Set Me Free, as recently I have been recording mainly contemporary jazz music for the new album.

"[6] Rudd followed up this success with two more tracks in 2012, "Neon Lights" with vocals from Richard Oliver and "Out of My Mind", with the latter being well received not only in the UK but also in the United States, with a Chicago-based radio station ranking it in its top 10 charts of the year.

[15] In 2013, Rudd collaborated with the rock singer Sam Calver on a summer anthem, "Wake The World Tonight", which was released in June that year.

After concentrating on live performances in 2016 and 2017, Rudd DJed with Heart FM DJ Pandora at numerous events as a duo called Pandamonia.

In March 2019, it was announced that Rudd would be DJing for The Warner Leisure group at the opening of Studley Castle after a £50 million refurbishment.

It reopened in April 2019 as their 14th hotel in the Warner collection and Rudd performed along with Pixie Lott, Lemar, Beverley Knight, Gareth Gates, Matt Cardle and The Feeling.

He was then seen posting images on Instagram in early 2019 of studio writing sessions with vocalist Rachael Hawnt and Amanda Wilson with whom he had previously worked in 2013.

It was announced that Rudd will DJ and support for P&O's newest and largest cruise ship for the UK market - MV Iona at its launch called IONAFEST in July 2020 along with a host of stars including Gary Barlow, Pixie Lott, Clean Bandit and Jo Whiley.
