GRANT RICHARDS & DJ NAS BEHIND THE DECKS OF IONION FM
Grant Richards has been DJing since 1997 and has been collecting vinyl since he can remember, growing up on big slices of original Motown funk and soul. 1999 became a pivotal year for Grant, with many small doors being opened up for the journey up the metaphorical DJ ladder. As one thing led to the next GR soon found himself ensconced in the world of DJing, Promoting and Producing and Presenting and to this day manages to juggle all of that in one way or another..
Grant Richards has unfathomable enthusiasm and professionalism and when not DJing will be found shaking one pair or another of his many coveted pairs of Nike sneakers on the dancefloors of London and further afield and will always be a DJ who will try to break boundaries in creating his own inimitable style whether it be in person or behind the decks and whether that would be in the club or riding the airwaves on London's leading house music station House FM.
Fully realising that the journey of a good quality DJ is a long one Grant Richards will not only wait patiently for the right moments he will actively seek out the danceries that call out for a DJ that oozes that something special and will continue to capitalise on the chances that are given his way.
