It's Your Choice

Steve Sutherland also spent time investing in his own aspirations.

"I left school with a couple of O Levels, a couple of A Levels and that was it. Since then, I've worked, done my degree and now I'm doing what I want to do.

"But I invested in myself. I paid to go on some seminars in America myself. I'd sit down in the workshops, the only British person from my genre of music in the room, and I'd be scribbling down like mad, just learning."

"When I came back to England, I'd meet someone high up in the industry and have the ability to communicate on the same level and have more of an understanding of what was going on."

That learning gave Steve the self-confidence in what he was doing which spurred him on and helped him impress the right people. Nowadays he has one of the most successful urban radio shows in Europe and has won more MOBO awards than anyone else; six in total.
