About Me

Born in Lagos to Lebanese & Nigerian parentage - I somehow dodged immigration and found my way to England by the age of 4. Nurtured in a home of 1980's soul with the likes of Aretha Franklin, Alexander O'Neal, Whitney Houston (pre-Bobby Brown era) blaring out of my mum's record player, I couldn't help but become addicted to old-skool soul & r'n'b. After deciding at a young age that I wanted to become a wrestler - a dream that was later shattered when I realised I wouldn't be able to have long nails or keep my hair "did" - I yearned to carve a career in music someway or another. Fast forward a decade or so, I found myself taking a year out in Los Angeles where I studied as well as took an internship at MTV Networks. Learning from the best, all about music TV production I decided this was what I wanted to do! Upon my return to London and a degree later, I stalked everyone in the industry before getting a job at MTV UK. Now working on MTV BASE as an assistant producer, I have interviewed the elite of the hip hop & R'n'B world - Beyonce, Jay Z, Sean Paul, Akon, The Game, Fiddy...- to name but a few! Not only am I a passionate interviewer/ producer / raver / shopper / chatterbox, I'm the nosiest girl in the game and will be bringing you the hottest gossip from all things MTV BASE!
