My love of music, in particular Rock Music, was initially inspired by my dad's taste. I grew up listening to the classics.... Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, The Who, Dire Straits, Jimmy Hendrix....the list goes on! My burgeoning passion was then nurtured by the most amazing Music Teacher at school, a legend of a man who played with Status Quo, Hawkwind, Nazareth and helped Lemmy towards Motorhead amongst other accolades, he encouraged my interests and had many stories to tell of his experiences. Hastings on the Sussex coast is my hometown and I consider myself very lucky to have spent my life surrounded by its vibrant music scene, we are fortunate to have an enthusiastic audience for the extremely eclectic and talented local musicians, as well as many venues in which to celebrate the Superstars of Rock. I started my DJ journey during the annual FM broadcast of Hastings Rock Radio in 2018 and have been an enthusiastic part of the team ever since - on occasion hosting twice daily shows! In 2022, I was invited to do a weekly 3 hour slot on Metal Devastation Radio, so the A-Z of rock was launched, I had great fun finding either tracks or artists to fill each of the 26 spaces and the show has gradually morphed into its’ current format of a mystery tour of rock music. According to my fellow broadcasters, I have a tendency to 'bounce' my way through the shows. I make no apology for this and will continue to share my passion for music, life and above all.......FUN with my listeners, did you know there’s only 2 types of music after all.....music you like and music you haven’t heard yet!
