Bazz Facey's True All Stars Bazz Facey

My ex-colleague Sonya took the steps to put down her digital learning career to be fully involved in an almost life long passion of creating art. Soaring her way to opening her own business for commissions, my headstrong, non-fearing friend navigates this world as a mother to two adorable children and wife of a Doctor, creating a family hug of caring, nurturing and creativity. She also taught me a thing or two about social faux pas...

Philadelphia's DJ Kidd Disco is co-owner of Grown Folks Radio where he brings his unfiltered, articulate and often thought provokingly comedic views to the airwaves and internet streams. 

He is a DJ, turntablist who was there at the birth of Hip Hop and has carried one of its torches through devastating scratch skills, juxtaposed, stylistic remixes and a never waning passion.

A true legend of the game, who witnessed Jazzy Jeff before his pairing with Will Smith and was in attendance when a uong LL Cool J stormed Philly, Kidd's tales of the culture will make you stop and listen.

From the student and tourist laden streets (and green parks) of Cambridge, Jamie Green has been an active comedian, performing at and hosing comedy shows for the best part of ten years. His brand, Wise Crack Comedy (UK) has given stage time to some great up and coming talent, some of whom have gone on to ply their trade at the BBC as well as featuring some seasoned, comedy circuit acts. He talks about the impact of his disability on his act and the era we're I was his support DJ. Jamie is warm and inspiring and was a delight to catch up with.

From Philadelphia, USA, Shelly Shell Williams is the power house, self-styled .media-preneur,' that worked tirelessly in the urban music scene on the TV airwaves of Philly, branching out into social media strategies for iconic brands and business coaching, specialising in good practices for monitising skills.

With an extended intro with Hannah The Voice Over Lady, this is a fitting end of season show.

30 something, bar manager Scott, shares his experiences about growing up as an out, Gay, male and the twist and unexpected turns he faced. A warm soul and a heart of goal, Scott's outlook on life is both inspiring and grounded. This for me is one of my stand out, highlights of this season.

My old school friend Zeynep is a TV commercial producer in Los Angeles. Having started out life in North London, she threw her soul into anything she was tasked with, harnessed any experiences from even the most obscure job roles and used her networking skills to perfection to advance her career to sunny California via San Francisco, where she is also a happily married, mother of one. A unique soul with a can do and humorous attitude, this mini reunion is as fascinating as the stories that unfold from both of us...
