About MeI have been a professional entertainer all my working life. Originally from Nottingham, in my late teens I worked in bands as a vocalist and also playing guitar, keyboards, and trumpet. In the late 80's I emigrated to Spain, earning my living as a singer/musician working the hotels and bars. |
I began working in radio in the early 90's with Coastline Radio, a station based in Nerja.
Coastline was the first English language radio station in Spain and I had a lot of fun learning the ropes. From 1997 until it's closure in 2009, I presented the breakfast show for Onda Cero International (O.C.I.), a bigger station based in Marbella. I eventually became program controller and again had some great times. Since then I have worked for Spectrum f.m. and Central f.m. |
It was during my time with O.C.I. that I started working as a mobile d.j. and m.c. The exposure that being on the radio gave me lead to people asking me to host parties and events and suddenly, almost by accident, there I was on stage without a guitar round my neck! Nowadays I enjoy the best of both worlds. Sometimes singing and performing live, sometimes being the d.j. I consider myself very lucky to be living in this wonderful country doing what I love to do. |
