THE STORY SO FAR...
Georgie Rogers is a charismatic presenter, journalist, DJ, promoter and music lover from London.
She can be found curating and presenting her own show Music Discovery on Sundays nationally on DAB station Virgin Radio.
A freelance music journalist, she also regularly injects huge amounts of warmth and personality on BBC 6 Music doing the Music News for Shaun Keaveny, Radcliffe and Maconie, occasionally with Ken Bruce on BBC Radio 2 and as News and Culture editor on Apple Music's Beats 1. There, she also hosts the Beats 1 playlist hours.
Following an English and Drama degree, several internships and freelance work at Global Radio Georgie was scouted for BBC 6 Music on the red carpet at the NME Awards in 2008. There, after nine years in the fold she continues to 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.
Stints on Brighton Festival Radio, Diesel U:Music and the Breakfast Show on Amazing Radio for two years helped her transition from journalist to broadcaster, with her national DAB Amazing Breakfast being featured in The Guardian by Elisabeth Mahoney and again by Miranda Sawyer, as well as Cooler Magazine.
After presenting the flagship 'Strongroom Sessions' show on Strongroom Alive in 2012, she landed her own show on XFM in the early hours of Friday mornings. For nearly two years she showcased her broad music taste, making a weekly electronic DJ mix and having a 'Late Night Love-In' with a host of musicians from The Maccabees to Nick Mulvey, Brody Dalle to Jurassic 5. Lengthy stints anchoring the Evening Show followed and cover across the schedule for John Kennedy's X-Posure, Jo Good during the week and across the weekend schedule.
Her portfolio also includes hosting the Rolling Stones launch of Exhibitionism at the Saatchi Gallery, presenting The Selector for the British Council, writing articles for BBC Entertainment, fronting pilots for Coca Cola, interviewing for online TV channel Secret Sessions or compering the main stages at Standon Calling and Festibelly festivals.
Georgie is in fact a festival junkie who over the last six years has covered the length and breadth of Europe and beyond developing her own skills as an interviewer, anchor, and presenter for both radio and television. She's interviewed the likes of Led Zeppelin, Sir Paul McCartney, LCD Soundsystem, Blondie, Massive Attack, Underworld, The Strokes, The Flaming Lips, Jack White, Chrissie Hynde, Steve Albini, James Franco, Soundgarden, The Black Keys, DJ Shadow and Ryan Gosling!
With her finger firmly on the pulse of what’s popping and a clear idea of what she likes, Georgie was one of a small crew behind the successful monthly east London club night Cat Lovers.
She's had the likes of TCTS, Monki, Karma Kid, Moxie, Shadowchild, Wookie, Dems, Shura, Femme, Strong Asian Mothers and Blaenavon down to DJ and perform live at the night; and taken her party-starting DJ sets to Field Day, the Collosillyum & Lake Stage at Secret Garden Party, Rockness, Standon Calling, Topshop, the V & A Museum, Hunter for London Fashion Week, Pulse nightclub, Dalston Superstore, Universal Music parties, The Big Chill House, Fashion Targets Breast Cancer at The Sanderson and St Pancras Renaissance Hotel, Hunter Boots, Whistles and Benefit make-up amongst others.
Despite her rock roots and deep love of alternative music, her decks time is usually an opportunity to indulge in all things electronic. Georgie is right at home mixing an eclectic bunch of house, deep house, disco, nudisco & exotic grooves. In her DJ bag you'll also find a far-reaching trove of tracks past and present; soul, funk, hip-hop, blues, R 'n' B, pop, anything that will make you get down, so wherever she's commandeering the decks she has all the tools to pull out all of the stops.
