One of the most respected names in UK Radio, although not on the obvious choices in club land, never the less it's a special occasion when Schooly's on the decks.
Starting His radio career in 1992 in his home town of Leicester With His Sound system and Pirate Radio, Schooly's quickly gained a reputation of being the ultimate party rocker, The New kid on the block, but radio quickly became his first love and quickly grabbed the attention of Choice FM in 1996 from there to Galaxy In Birmingham and Galaxy Network, 98-00 Originally creating the show now filled by Steve Sutherland to the Biggest commercial station in Europe Capital radio present, Making him one of the few DJ's that can say were there from day one.
For Schooly to bless the turntables is somewhat of a treat these days as the last 5 years have been dedicated holding down the number one evening show in London, With just under a million listeners a week and a roster of guests that any music channel would be proud of, his own production company 'The Funk Factory' grooming 3 new acts, getting him out of the studio and into the clubs has been virtually impossible.
Famed for being a Radio presenter, but the ironic thing is that there isn't that many DJ's who are as good on the radio as they are on the decks, Schooly is definitely an exception to the rule.
Schooly has always made his presence felt, whether holding Down Sound Republic, in London's Leicester Square Every Friday for 3 years or being one of the resident DJ's in the Funkbase at the legendary Southport Weekender 4 the last 8 years, To MTV, Blues & Soul And Morgan Spice National Tours To Black & White In Napa, Kinda Funky in Torquay, To The Connect Club In Lithuania, Love dough In Newcastle, Planetarium In Dubai, The Rub In Brighton, to his local just around the corner from his house,
No Hype, The proofs in the pudding! It's about quality rather than quantity as that's what I stand for. And that will never change.
Soul, R&B, Broken Beat, House, Jazz, Classic Hip Hop, Breaks & Rare Groove, are all in the box. If you're a music lover or serious about your music.
This is your man!
