In 2018 I’ve found out that there was a group workshop in radio presenting and I thought to myself I really wanted to entertain people across the East Midlands so I took part in workshop to learn how to become a radio presenter which it took 2 months and I really got stuck in so they offered me a slot 2 hours every Wednesday’s from 4pm – 6pm since then I founded FMB Radio and I really wanted to have a another radio show to keep more people entertain.

What Impact does coronavirus has on you in regard to your work?
It has been very difficult for me because I wouldn’t be able to go out in the community or be able to do pre – record interviews with guests and also not be able to do LIVE shows in the studio.

I hope that things start to settle in and get back to normal and to enjoy our lifetime by meeting friends and going back to LIVE shows gigs and much more.
