BBC Radio

As an award-winning radio executive, I spent over a decade crafting stories that shifted culture through music. I produced live radio, documentaries, and the iconic Maida Vale Sessions—bringing some of the world’s best music Artists into the BBC studios.

I led the flagship show Gilles Peterson Worldwide on BBC Radio 1, overseeing editorial output and ensuring the highest journalistic standards. We championed emerging genres like Grime, UK Jazz and Dubstep, introducing underground music into the mainstream.

Through this work, I helped shape the cultural conversation around music,  discovery and connection.
