Born in the UK, I migrated to Australia when I was 13, where my background (and humble beginning) was in broadcasting, having performed almost every task and held every position imaginable in commercial and non-commercial radio since the early 1980’s.
From “DJ” in the somewhat remote country town of Esperance in 1982, through to Music Director of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (The ABC) in Perth, Western Australia, I returned to the UK as broadcaster, ultimately becoming a radio network imaging voice in the 90’s.
Over 17 years in radio, I naturally transitioned into the world of ‘voice-over’ in the mid 80’s.
My voice is heard by hundreds of thousands of people around the world, every day.
On radio and TV commercials, audio/visual corporate narrations, documentaries, online, on-hold, explainers, e-learning modules, audio-books, award ceremonies and, I’ve been the imaging and/or branding "voice" of over 100 Radio and TV stations in the UK, the UAE, Africa, Australia, Greece and other corners of the globe in a career spanning over three decades.
Clients - past and present - include:

Classic FM is the largest national commercial radio station in the UK. Around 6 million people tune in weekly. At the Sony Radio Awards in 1999 and 2000, the station won “Gold” for "Station Sound". I was the primary male voice of Classic FM at that time.
I’ve also station-imaged/branded for radio networks like Virgin in places such as Bangkok and Koh Samui and, in Australia, Sydney, Melbourne & Brisbane. I was station-imaging and branding voice for London's LBC 97.3 FM talk/current affairs and political network - which was awarded UK Station of the year at the annual Arqiva Awards in 2013 - for 5 years.
I’ve voiced for radio and television networks in Africa, and I have been the official “promo voice” for four of the Disney (formerly the FOX Network) Movie Channels throughout the UAE, as well as having station-imaged for 5AA in Adelaide, South Australia in February 2024.
In 2011, I voiced the part of the narrator and several character voices (in English) for a 125 page narrative based on the classic 12th Century "Song of Roland” - the oldest surviving major work in French literature - which was released as an AudioBook.
In 2014, I spent a year in Dubai, establishing and working with a new client-base, voicing for the likes of MacDonald’s, Porsche, Coca-Cola, Sony, Kellogg’s, Toyota and Samsung to name a few.
2023 saw the culmination and launch of a 90,000 word audiobook, narrated by me and featuring a cast of some 20 other voice-over/actors, titled “The Call of Mektoub”.
I’m also a voice-over and “tech” coach, as part of the RichCraft team, based in the UK.
Located in Poole, Dorset, UK, I voice for all clients, in all countries at all hours via Zoom, GoogleMeet, Cleanfeed, Source-Connect, SessionLink, Whereby, Microsoft Teams and various other VOIP’s, from an acoustically-sound, bespoke, professional VoiceOver recording studio…
