What’s it like to be a… BBC Radio 1 DJ?
EARLY BREAKFAST SHOW PRESENTER ADELE ROBERTS TELLS DIVA HOW SHE WENT FROM FINDING HER FEET ON STUDENT AIRWAVES TO WOMAN-ING ONE OF THE UK’S BIGGEST RADIO STATIONS
WORDS DANIELLE MUSTARDE
Adele Roberts’ first experience on the airwaves was at Leeds Student Radio. “I saw LSR’s stall during freshers’ week. I was a club DJ at the time and really wanted to celebrate house music.”
She asked the station managers, Nicki and Imogen, if she could do a mix show for them and – thankfully for our ears – they said yes: “I’ll be forever grateful to them for giving me a chance, it started me off on my journey.”
