I started listening to London Pirate Radio while I was at school and it was probably the single biggest influence on how my life unfolded as an adult. Pirate Radio was a gateway into a world that I was otherwise too young to have any contact with. It sparked an interest, lit a fire and set me on a path that I continue to tread. As a young listener it had a mysticism about it. The music played, the cryptic slang chanted by the MCs and DJs and its seemingly unseen world was alien and exciting.
