About

I’m Chris, an experienced, award-winning, driven and passionate radio and podcast producer; regularly creating programmes for a range of clients across different genres and styles. With many years of experience to call upon, I’m also on hand to offer bespoke presenter and producer training, and I love developing brand strategies in the audio space. Key to all this is a constant drive to push boundaries and deliver those magic moments you have to hear to believe.

Previously, I ran Ministry of Sound’s Radio Platform in London; delivering world-class weekly shows and driving revenue, audience growth and engagement. I led significant teams of DJs and producers, ensured compliance with broadcasting regulations, and built strong partnerships through international syndication.

I thrive under pressure, will always encourage others, and am passionate about turning creative ideas into standout audio experiences.

Happy to say my world is all about realness, authenticity and probably spelling mistakes. Real people, real emotions, real talent, and real feelings.
