How did you first become involved in radio?
From a young age I knew I wanted to be on the radio. I grew up listening to great local presenters such as Lee Finan, Gerry Dee and Kevin Fernihough .
I started out DJing at friend’s birthday parties and at 13 I joined north staff’s hospital radio where I presented a show targeted for the children’s ward. At 15 I did my work experience at a local commercial station and after a day working with the engineers I thought ‘this is boring’ and asked if I could sit in on a radio show so I have been a coffee boy for the likes of Gerry Dee and Chris Moyles!. Since then I have progressed to presenting shows for numerous stations starting out on overnights for MFM in Wrexham and before returning to home.
What is your most memorable radio moment so far?
I just loved being a par of road shows where people came out in their thousands to see you throw out CDs, car stickers and badges.
What is the ultimate song to lift your day?
I love all types of music I don’t have a favourite song or artist. My favourite era is the 90s where I have lots of fond memories of Valentinos and The Place, I just love feel good songs.
How do you feel about joining the Blue Sky Team?
I’m really looking forward to getting back on air and it is a privilege to be invited to be a part of a great team who have so much talent.
