A dynamic and fresh talent in the radio industry, James knows exactly what his audience want. He realises the importance of putting the audience first, and engaging with them on their level.

His show gives his listeners their own VIP pass into the world of celebrity, and as an experienced interviewer, James gets his guests involved in the show, it’s never just your run-of-the-mill Q&A. Never afraid to say what everybody else is thinking, James’ interviews always make for very entertaining radio.

Since joining Capital FM from the Galaxy Network in 2010 – where he took their Evening Show to its highest ever reach – James has also been the voice of Capital’s live events, broadcasting live from backstage at the Jingle Bell Ball at the O2 on the radio – and hosting the visual red-carpet coverage for the station’s website.

Having always had a passion for broadcasting; since starting his career at the age of 15, launching a community station in Eastbourne, he then went on to present drive time at his local station Sovereign Radio aged just 17. His career has also seen him work in many of the local markets which he now broadcasts to as a Network – having worked at stations such as Bright 106.5, Northants 96, Chiltern FM, Red Dragon FM and Galaxy North East before moving to the Yorkshire based Galaxy Network.
