All about Rob

So you wanna know how I ended up here at Heart?

Well I took up tap dancing when I was 5 years old when my mum suggested it could make me famous (yeah, famous for being the laughing stock at school).

Realising I couldn't dance or sing and seeing as I had the face of a buffalo that had just been run over by a combine harvester, I soon gave up and it wasn't till I was 13 I realised the only way I could be famous was on the radio.

I went to college to do a BTEC in media studies, volunteered for hospital radio and also pretended to be a 'DJ' in my bedroom at home - I really need to stop with the bedroom thing now I'm a grown man.

The rest is history and I've been on the radio since 1994 - and I'm still waiting to be famous!

I now also run my own video production company called Studio 2 Media.
