Tricky Ricky

Tricky Ricky is on Radio X Gold and Dare Talk Radio. I’m a true Cockney from the East End of London, which gave me a great upbringing in music and the chance to see some amazing live bands during the ’70s. In fact, my local pub had Status Quo playing regular gigs for free! I’ve always loved music starting out as a rock fan in my early years but over time I’ve mellowed and now enjoy most types of music.

My radio journey started almost by accident. A dinner visit to a friend turned into my first live show, and from that moment I was hooked. I began broadcasting three shows a week from my home studio. Back then my radio name was Rocking Ricky, but when another DJ with a similar name came along, I became Tricky Ricky!
