About Me
Growing up in the seventies, clubs were fewer, DJs were true gods of their domain and followers evangelised driven by a hunger for new music. It was all about ‘Crackers’ in Wardour Street with George Power, Saturday afternoons at The 100 Club with Ronnie L and the ‘all-dayers’ back then for Chris.
In the mid eighties he became a pirate radio entrepreneur and programmer risking life and limb on icy roofs in the name of black music choice developing and working alongside some of today’s subsequent big radio names. On air Chris honed his relaxed and enthusiastic and knowledgeable style.
In 1989 Chris joined Jazz FM as music programmer and drive-time host, and latterly co-hosted the legendary ‘Somethin’ Else’ late night show that pushed the genre and from this he co-founded the hugely successful independent radio production company of the same name. From November 1991 to September 2006 Chris enjoyed 15 years at Kiss 100 FM successfully building audiences during his various daytime slots delivering the Kiss brand.
Fully immersed in urban music from soul to jazz to hip-hop, r&b, house and dance his accrued knowledge and passion for Black music is substantial and Chris is as keen as ever to bring exciting new vibes to air, all backed up by vast experience behind the microphone.
Away from music Chris continues his almost fundamentalist fascination with football as a hands on fan at AFC Wimbledon, the club set up by fans in the wake of losing Wimbledon FC to Milton Keynes. Never far from the music though come to any home game and it’s Chris you’ll here playing his eclectic blend over the p.a as stadium host. |
