THE FACTS
PAST
Born In Edmonton, North London on October 1st 1975, and educated (almost!) at nearby schools Bowes and Broomfield before studying a B-Tec national in performing arts at Barnet College where Spice Girl Emma Bunton and former S Club 7 member Paul Cattermole's early claim to fame is that they had me as a classmate!!
From there it was onto Drumtech music school, in West London for a year long diploma in music performance.
In between all this my music career began. At 16 I joined EC Riders (we were from all over Europe hence EC!) They were pretty mediocre but I got a brief tour to America's "Westside" out of it (ie. Hollywood)
After that it was onto the excellent power trio Baby Paint in 1995, which secured an independant record deal which produced one album and various UK tours. It was around the same time of joining these that I acidentally became a touring member of the late Screaming Lord Sutch's band, playing at various UK and European ferstivals. My first gig being to 10,000 people with no rehearsals and one week to learn the songs off a dodgy c-90 cassette!
Unfortunately none of these musical ventures provided the wealth and success l craved, so I switched my attentions to modelling (briefly for a laugh) and acting. I did various photographic assignments and Stage productions, commercials and TV appearences, but again none of the affore mentioned success and wealth came with them!
So in 1998, whilst laid, in the bath one night l decided, as simply as that, to try radio presenting. I went on a course at the Bruno Brookes Radio School and after loads of rejection letters and meetings started my radio career at 2-Ten FM in Reading before doing various stuff at the likes of SilkFM, ImagineFM, BFBS, Forces Radio, Garrison Radio, The Pulse, and Classic Gold.
I finally turned pro when I started the overnight gig at Radio Aire in Leeds in the summer of 2000. From there I switched to their sister station VikingFM in Hull early 2001 where I stayed for nearly two years bringing me up to..........
October 2002 I signed on the dotted line to present the breakfast show at Mix 96 in Aylesbury, Bucks ( near London-ish!) getting up at 5 every weekday morning (give or take a lot!), whilst still managing to find time to work in various nightclubs and pop up in the odd commercial and TV programme! Stayed there till late summer 2003, when I then hit the road for full time club work, starting with five weeks at the Edinburgh festival, mixing with all the lovies! lovely!
For the next few months, I worked in various clubs all over the UK from Scotland to Cornwall, and everywhere in between. I also found time to present drive time for a few weeks on Kerrang Radio, and an afternoon show on The Noise, in the summer of 2004, before.......
PRESENT
Moving to EssexFM in the autumn of 2004, to present Late Night Love, 10pm - 1am. That keeps me busy down south during the week, while at the weekends I do a couple of clubs up north. In between all of this I try and see my wife and family, and even try and spend some quality time with them too!
I'm nothing if not busy!
FUTURE
Much success, wealth and happiness in either Radio, Acting or music. Any order will do!
