The story so far...
Georgie Rogers has her own weekly show on the Xfm network on Friday mornings between 1-3am.
She is a freelance reporter & assistant producer for BBC 6 Music and BBC Entertainment, and the female on-screen host of Secret Sessions.
She presented the breakfast show on national DAB station Amazing Radio for two years until July 2012 and moved on to take on a live show on Strongroom Alive, an online station, alongside shows by Clash Magazine and Ninja Tunes.
She is a journalist and festival junkie who over the last six years has covered the length and breadth of Europe and beyond, chasing down both new and established artists and developing her own skills as an interviewer, anchor, and presenter for both radio and television.
She Djs, she writes, she produces and she blogs.
Her road to radio was born of a love for television after her big brother’s appearance on Wacaday’s Silly Senses circa 1990 made her green with envy. She subsequently threw herself into every school play - sometimes over-heating in a cowardly lion onesey - other times painted green as Toad of Toad Hall. The Wacaday obsession morphed into an unholy amount of Neighbours and MTV in her teens and it was Gonzo and MTV News that planted her journalistic seed. Having completed her English and Drama degree, she began to carve out her place in the media. First it was tea-making and kitchen-cleaning at Virgin Radio, then it was presenting on Jersey’s Channel 103. Soon she was voicing trails and breakfast show features at Xfm London and reporting from the red carpet at premieres, The Brits and the NME Awards.
From Xfm Georgie was scouted by BBC 6 Music to join their Music News team. There she continues to hone her skills and indulge her boundless enthusiasm for music, musicians, culture, art, and fashion within a national news team who both value her work and respect her attitude towards it. She writes compiles and produces packages for Shaun Keaveny, Radcliffe & Maconie and many others across the network - providing live inserts from Glastonbury, Coachella, Benicassim and beyond too. She compered Festibelly in the New Forest for a fifth time in summer 2012, puts on Cat Lovers (a monthly night in Shoreditch) with three chums, which has been going for over a year.
She DJ's at parties like Bearded Kitten's Around The World and Story of Life events and in the Coming Out Bar at Secret Garden Party, Big Chill House and Queen of Hoxton... and she's still only 26.
