I have been interested in Country music since I was very young, and always would play the “Country & Western tape” in my parents’ ghetto blaster when they were busy elsewhere. I always fancied the idea of being a DJ since I was 11 years old, having had an interest in music performance when I was 8 and learning to play the keyboard. I DJd at school discos with a couple of my friends, but took a break to concentrate on studying and my career in IT. I got involved with SHMU for a short while in 2011 to do the SHMU Work program, and then the SHMU Train. After another ten year break, I started with Worlds Awakening Radio, an online station for the blind and partially sighted, but I wanted something more professional, so I did some radio training with Adele at SHMU and was given my first show on Christmas Day in 2022 called Country Christmas, and then started Coothie Country in January 2023.
