How did Curtis get into radio?

"I had always had a slight interest in radio, and after being lucky enough to work alongside some of the Cool FM radio presenters in nightclubs over the years and getting some advice, I plucked up the courage to drop a demo off to one of our local community stations in Belfast, Blast106, and from there it’s been a crazy journey that has led to me being part of the cool fm team!"

Who is Curtis' favourite musician?

Curtis loves all genres of music, so it was hard to pick just one.

"At the minute it’s Dermot Kennedy, his album “Without Fear” is perfect from start to finish!"

What's been the best gig Curtis has ever gone to?

"There’s been so many stand out gigs, but I think my all time favourite was Coldplay at the Odyssey Arena (now the SSE Arena) in 2005. It was my first proper gig with my mates and I remember the atmosphere being incredible!"

Curtis' lie is he has never jumped out of plane before!
