Who? Presenter, Get It On, BBC Radio Scotland

They often say that DJs are just frustrated musicians, so I’m going put that to the test.
Instrument? Piano
Why Get Playing? "As someone who constantly plays air guitar in the studio, I can’t wait to learn an instrument for real. They often say that DJs are just frustrated musicians, so I’m going put that to the test."
"Maybe by September I’ll be ready to hang up my headphones and pick up a baton. I believe that learning to play an instrument is a great way for all of us to explore our creativity and get a better understanding of the music we love."
