.and when did you start riding?

Growing up in Cambridge, at age 5 or 6

.when did you start in radio?

My first inspiration to go on the radio came from the World Famous Supreme Team as heard on Malcolm McClaren's Duck Rock album - 'all that scratchings making me itch....'. I worked as an intern in a news radio station in Hong Kong in the summer of 1992. Record collecting, DJing and a love of soundscapes has always made me return to radio when I have the spare time as I have to work to earn money too!
