matter, coming out of all of the best parts of the musical universe.
Zane

what I love but now it is going to be on a national platform."

Notes
to Editors

directing, producing and programming as well as making his own music.
Deciding
he needed to shake things up a bit he travelled for three months
and ended up in London where a tape of what he could do found its
way to MTV who were suitably impressed and gave him a job.
This
led to shows on London-based station XFM and most recently to Radio
