- Currently hosts Radio 1's flagship evening show from 7:30 to 9pm
- Also hosts 'Gonzo' on MTV2
- Began as a video jockey (VJ) on MTV presenting 'Brand:New' and 'Up 4 It'
- Member of the New Zealand band 'Breaks Co-Op'
- Previously worked at XFM before Radio 1
- Also works as a DJ, often DJing at festivals (opened for Foo Fighters at Wembley, 7th June 2008)
- Monday nights on his show features 'Fresh Meat' where three new bands' songs are played and rated with the winning song being played for the rest of the week. Past winning bands have been: Arctic Monkeys, Kaiser Chiefs, The Wombats, Bloc Party, Kasabian, Editors.
- Also plays new tracks in 'The Hottest Record In The World Today' from new bands/albums (was the first to play 'Crazy' by Gnarles Barkley live on air)
- Features live performances and interviews with celebrity guests
- His shows demonstrate a high level of enthusiasm for the music he's playing
- Won several awards for TV and radio shows, including one for each at the 2006 NME awards as well as two Sony Radio Academy Awards
This would be the sort of DJ that I think would play our song as he's very into new music and promoting new bands as well as having a wide appeal and is well respected in the industry.
