what people’s characters are like. For example, I am a typical Pisces in that I am very emotional, very sensitive, intuitive, I love the limelight, I am imaginative, creative, indecisive, dreamy, I hate confrontation of any kind and I tend to go with the flow in life generally.
Because I am passionate about astrology, I have always enjoyed combining my two passions together, so every month I do a read up during my show on the particular sign that we're currently in. When I have a guest in the studio, I read directly to my guest on air. I can happily say that the high majority of the time I have been congratulated on my accuracy.
Who would you say are your favourite old school artists and why?
Oh gosh - that's a big question - there are sooooo many! I always say that 1994 is my favourite year for R&B and Jungle but I am going to go with all the R&B artists from 1992 onwards because that was such a memorable era and one from which New Jack Swing was still about too. These old skool artists would include Jodeci, Aaliyah, Mary J Blige, Mariah (my number one of all time), Guy, Boyz II Men, SWV etc!
In addition to this, I also love PROPER OLD SKOOL artists like Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole and Dean Martin. They bring out the old soul in me and I just adore jazz music. I DO have a major soft spot for Old Skool Reggae too - so you see, I am very eclectic which I pride myself on. I have done this feature on my show which started with Nev G's 100% 1988 Nostalship and I did every year in-between through to 2006. It took me nearly a year to do. I enjoyed it so much that when I got to the end, I did it all over again! My most enjoyable ones were 1989, 1994, 1995, 1996 and 2001.
You also present weekday weather reports for London, how did you get interested in that? And, if you could live in only one season forever, which would it be and why?
Oh the summer, without a shadow of a doubt! I love letting my skin breathe, I love my summer wardrobe, I love how positive and good the sunshine makes me feel and how my clothes feel on me, feeling the heat on my skin, driving with the roof down, the good mood that the sun puts me in, all the activities that I can do outdoors, the deep clean at home and I love playing music really loud at home with all my windows open so that all my neighbours can hear it. Ideally I want to sell up and emigrate and my ambition is to have a house by the beach. No idea what country yet, both my parents are Turkish Cypriot, so it could be North Cyprus. However, I adore Jamaica with all my heart so you never know...!
With regards to weather forecasting this is something that I have wanted to do since I was a child. I had been typing weather reports on my social media status' for a few years when one day, it was suggested that I should actually go for it and record daily videos instead, so I did. In early February this year, I tried it one day and the response back was positive, so I stuck to it and committed
