Since the start of October last year, MistaJam has been the public face of Capital Dance, the new 24-hour national dance music station. His flagship show is 4-7pm from Tuesday to Saturday, with the Capital Weekender also broadcasting on Capital on Fridays and Saturdays too. It’s the latest challenge for the DJ who spent 15 years at BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra, becoming one of Britain’s best-loved dance music broadcasters in the process.
Growing up, Jam blagged a show on pirate radio in his home city of Nottingham at 14, and then on Nottingham Trent University’s Fly FM which had a limited FM license while he was doing his GCSEs.
