Trevor’s been DJing from an early age but his big-time career really kicked off when he started up the Madhatter sound system, putting on big warehouse parties.

Within a year he began a second show on Saturday afternoons.Trevor’s won the best DJ Mobo twice over – and has co-hosted the ceremony twice, with Kelis and the late Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes. Trevor presented MTV’s black music shows ‘The Lick’ and ‘The Lick Chart’ before getting his own music shows on BBC television – ‘Trevor Nelson’s Urban Choice’ and ‘The Lowdown’.
