- My voiceover and audio production work has been featured across the UK on national radio, most notably BBC 6Music.
- I’ve previously owned and operated my own local commercial radio station, Fusion Radio, which included producing and presenting my own live and voicetracked shows as well as managing sales and marketing campaigns.
- I am always on the lookout for new radio presenter opportunities.
- I also lend my voice to podcasts, news bulletins, commercials, training videos, audiobooks, and more.

“More Music, More Choice”

Fusion Radio’s extensive playlist comprised over 50 years of music, from 1980s chart-toppers to today’s biggest hits. There were dedicated breakfast and drivetime shows on weekdays, plus five specialist ‘themed’ programmes every week. Hourly news and half-hourly weather bulletins were broadcast throughout weekday daytimes, as well as local travel updates during the evening peak.
The station is no longer on air but here’s an archived version of its website.
The sound of the station
Presenting 1: Here’s a sample of my Drivetime shows, on air each weekday between 4pm-7pm. I usually (but not always) voicetracked these shows, however I broadcasted travel bulletins live. Music skew: 00s/10s.
Presenting 2: On New Year’s Eve 2023 I broadcasted a live special of the station’s dance music show, Fusion Beats, from 9pm-2am. Here’s some of the highlights of the show in the run-up to midnight. Music skew: 10s/now.
Imaging: I created a full station package for Fusion Radio, scripting and post-producing sweepers and jingles for all shows including Breakfast, Your More Choice Workday, Fresh Fridays, and All 80s. I commissioned Jono Woodward (Heart, GHR) as the voice of the station. Listen here:
On air, online, and across the community.

As well as presenting on the station, I also:
- Built my own Alexa skill – so listeners could tune in via Amazon Echo smart speakers by saying ‘Play Fusion Radio’.
- Created the Fusion Radio app – a lightweight radio player Android app for the audience to listen on the go.
- Developed and managed advertising campaigns – on social media and at out-of-home locations including supermarkets, gyms, shopping centres, bus stops and rail stations.
- Grew listenership and sales revenue – by building links with local businesses and devising & promoting on-air competitions.
