Hi I'm DJ Hedz
After many years of yearning to try my hand at presenting, I finally got
my chance thanks to my daughter EmmaH!
She had her own show on a local radio station and needed someone to
cover for 3 weeks during her Higher exams. I jumped at the chance, and
was subsequently offered my own show and 'Mixtape' was born. Here was
me, a fledgling radio presenter/DJ at 47!
I spent a further 2.5 years with that station before being approached by
an Internet based station which I joined, and presented various shows with
them for a further year.
I then had a short break before being asked to join SMR and the rest as
they say is history.
I get such a kick out of putting show playlists together. I still
present Mixtape on a weekly basis and the SMR listeners never fail to
surprise me with the quality of tunes they pick for my weekly themes.
I am an 80's pop monkey at heart but equally at home with 90's/00's, Dance
music, and I have a much deeper appreciation for genres like Northern
Soul and Rock the more time I spend around and listening to my fellow
SMR DJ's. It's even got me singing along to the odd Country tune!
Never one to pass up an opportunity for a 'dad joke', I can only apologise
in advance to any listeners, but hope the quality of the tunes makes up
for it!
Get your dancing pants on.
