Q1. What first attracted you to Soul Music, is this relevant today?

The discovery of my big brother’s record collection caused me to search for a decent radio station, thus I discovered Horizon at the age of 13. I loved hearing the mixture of upfront tracks and classics too. Pirates were the only place that I could hear new music at the age of 13. The first track I ever bought was Geraldine Hunt-‘Cant Fake The Feeling’ with my pocket money.

Q2. What are your top 5 favourite soul tracks?

A Touch Of Class – I Love You Pretty Baby
Harold Melvin & The Bluenotes – The Love I Lost
Mario Biondi/Was A Bee – This Is What You Are
Scott K – I Love Music
Gerry Devaux – Front Of The Line

Q3. What are your favourite three record labels?

I don’t really care for labels, it’s the tracks that matter

Q4. Who are your favourite five artists?

Harold Melvin & The Bluenotes
O’Jays

Q9. Which other DJs do you admire and why?
