The Question & Answer Zone...

What's your favourite genre of music?

I love all types of music, from dance to rock and everything in between. I love the huge bands that even for their age, still make an impact, like Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Queen and so on. But I also love newer bands like Oasis, Coldplay, Keane and The Arctic Monkey's. Add into that a penchant for cheesy feel good tunes, party classis, and a huge helping of Motown and you start to see my varied musical taste. I like music that makes me think or feel something, and in my show, you can expect to find all different genres with an emphasis for upbeat, feel good music.

When you're not at Epsom Hospital Radio, what are you doing?

I work for an electrical supplier, doing safety checks on electric meters.

If you had £1,000,000 to spend on yourself and no-one else what would you spend it on?

I'd buy a big plot of land. Build a nice sized house (as many rooms as possible) then I'd be on MTV's Cribs pretending to be a rap star. Fo'shizzle.
