About
"The BBC DJ who discovered chart-toppers Ellie Goulding, Becky Hill & 220 Kid"
🎙️ Radio Presenter 🎹 Music Producer/Piano Player 🎧 Club & Festival DJ 💿
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I’ve not only spent more than half of my life behind the record decks 🎧 but I’m proud to be the longest-serving new music presenter at the BBC 📻. I’m also a musician, having played piano and keyboards since the age of 6 🎹.
I’ve always had an ear for a hit and never failed to get a dancefloor pumping, which is how I've become the most-booked DJ in the UK for two years running ⭐.
As well as hosting weekly shows on the BBC, I’ve also hosted takeovers with Huw Stephens on BBC Radio 1, Theo Johnson on 1xtra, outside broadcasts from the Hay Festival with Jo Whiley on BBC Radio 2, and Lakefest at Eastnor Castle on BBC 6 Music. For nearly a decade, I chose every single song you heard on my local BBC station - from breakfast to drivetime, sport to the gardening phone-in - consistently attracting more than 100,000 weekly listeners 🎶.
Since the pandemic, I’ve travelled the length and breadth of Britain (and across Europe) with my shows 🌍 — from Ibiza clubs to village halls, French châteaux to pub beer gardens, beach parties to in-store gigs, London riverboat cruises to countryside barn dances, woodland retreats to Wookey Hole caves, summer festivals to Christmas light switch-ons 🎉.
✨ What makes me different:
1. 🎥 Video DJing – I mix live visuals with the music. Expect music videos, slideshows, animations and effects on big screens for a full sensory show.
2. 🎤 Live Musicians – I regularly perform with sax, vocals, percussion and even walk the dancefloor playing synths myself. Imagine your favourite anthem performed live on top of a DJ set.
3. ⚡ Signature Sound – As a BBC music curator, I listen to 400+ new tracks weekly. My sets fuse floor-filling anthems with hidden gems, plus my own high-energy mashups, bootlegs, and remixes that you won't hear anywhere else. I also carry request cards to keep every event tailor-made.
4. 🔊 Festival-Grade Sound & Lighting – From plug-and-play setups to full professional rigs, I can transform any venue into a festival stage.
Having run club nights for years, I can also connect you with trusted suppliers — from fire eaters to stilt walkers, magicians to photo booths, even chocolate fountains!
