UK Radio Presenter
From North London to National
My first gig as a radio presenter was far from the glamour of Global’s Leicester Square HQ. I was in a tiny studio, broadcasting to a very niche audience in north London. Fast forward a few years and my childhood dream came true. I’d grown up listening to one of my favourite presenters, Chris Tarrant, on 95.8 Capital FM and set my sights on having my own show there one day – broadcasting to the whole of London…I ended up doing a little more!
Capital FM Presenter
Dreams Do Come True
In 2008, after a lot of hard work and dedication, I finally got my first slot on Capital. Incredibly, the best was still to come. I was part of the team that took the London station national, where I proudly took over the Capital FM network’s first mid – morning show reaching millions of new listeners. Along the way I got to hang out with and interview some of the biggest stars in music , like Robbie Williams and Ed Sheeran…to name drop just two!!

Heart FM Presenter
Following my Heart to Heart
My experience on Capital FM was extraordinary and I loved every minute. Most of all, I loved getting listeners on air and playing the music they felt passionate about. When an opportunity came up to join the Heart FM presenters at our sister station, I jumped at it.
The first hour of my evening show was dedicated to ‘Ring Roberto’ – a jukebox – style format with loads of listener interaction. This proved to be incredibly popular, becoming the most listened to evening show on commercial radio. I also got to present Hearts Club Classics at the weekend which really appealed to party dj side of me; my upbeat, good times nature and love of getting people dancing.

Heart 80s Presenter
Wedding cake and Breakfast
Two great things happened in 2017. I got married to the love of my life and I was given the honour of presenting the breakfast show on a brand – new digital station – Heart 80s. This spin-off station does exactly what it says on the tin. I got to play non-stop eighties feel good tunes from music’s most iconic decade. I hosted breakfast for nearly seven years and stood down at the end of 2023, having taking the station from nothing to nearly two million listeners.

I’ve presented at Capital FM’s Summertime Ball and Jingle Bell Ball.

Roberto’s Radio Geek Guide
Technology is very different now to how it was when I first became a radio presenter. I remember playing jingles and ads off of carts and music came off CD! Loo breaks were a race against the clock!
Today we use computers to do everything; move songs around, change how they start and finish, intersperse jingles etc. As a music and technology geek, I’m in my element. My favourite system is from RCS. It’s called Zetta and it’s so versatile, powerful, and easy to use. With the addition of Zetta2Go remote broadcasting and an absolute dream. It’s also one of the best pieces of software I’ve used as a voice tracking presenter.
If you’re interested in a career in radio, I’d be more than happy to give you some advice or talk you through the latest technology.
Maybe you’re interested in doing a voice-tracked show using Zetta. To get in touch, just fill in the form below.
