As a child growing up in London I role-played being a DJ imagining my bedroom to be a studio and station, BEDROOM FM. Actually, it was a Fisher Price Radio with a microphone.

I would day dream at school about one day working in radio. They do say never give up on your dreams, and I didn’t.

Fast forward to 1996 I got my first show on Ten17 in Harlow (now Heart). While I was working there I was head hunted (I like to think I was) by BFBS, British Forces Broadcasting Service. I always remember the phone call from the programme controller saying that there was an opening for a radio presenter/producer in the Caribbean and would I like to go. It was a cold wet miserable Monday morning in Essex! I was sold straight away.

​After chasing the sun for a few years with BFBS I returned to the UK and now I’m presenting the afternoon show on Radio Jackie in South West London and North Surrey.
