Ross Allen (03/06/2023)

Back in the mid-’80s, Ross Allen was properly schooled in music. Homework came down the airwaves – the funk, hip-hop and early electronic broadcasts of a local station in Kent, just southeast of London. Ross stepped up to DJing at house clubs and got his foot in the door when he began writing for UK magazine Straight No Chaser. From there he went on to become an A&R at Island Records and a presenter on Radio One and BBC London Live.
