I'm a presenter, event host and voiceover artist with over 25 years of experience behind the mic.
I've been on your radio, on your stage, and behind the scenes with some of the UK's biggest stations, venues and brands — bringing people together, telling stories and making moments that stick.
Whether it's live radio, a packed arena, or a brand campaign that needs to connect — I bring humour, warmth and energy to every mic I step up to. From award-winning breakfast shows to matchday announcements at Coventry City, I know how to read a room, engage an audience, and make things memorable.
25 years in radio, hosting everything from award-winning breakfast shows to national pride specials and nostalgic 90s throwbacks. I know how to connect with people, get the best out of guests and bring humour, warmth and energy to the mic — whether it's live on air, pre-recorded or podcasted.
Your man on the mic for everything from arena events and conferences to Christmas parties and brand launches. I've hosted crowds of thousands, introduced chart-toppers, switched on city lights and kept the energy high at major festivals. I'm also the matchday announcer for Coventry City and host for Coventry Blaze — from pitch to puck.
From commercials and event promos to explainer videos and corporate reads, I deliver clean, confident, conversational voiceovers. I can record fast from my home studio or come to you — either way, it'll sound great and get the job done.
A safe pair of hands for your corporate events. From conferences and AGMs to awards ceremonies and gala dinners, I bring professionalism, polish and the ability to keep things running smoothly — while still making it feel human and engaging for your audience.
JD X is how I team up with brands to bring bold ideas to life. From front-facing content and product launches to live events and promotions, I help craft campaigns that feel authentic, make noise, and leave a lasting impression. Whether it's social storytelling or stage presence, I bring experience, energy and credibility — turning briefs into real audience connection.

We have worked with John for a number of years, and he has become very much part of our team and family. When a client suggests an MC or host, we instantly suggest JD. He is professional, brilliantly clever, funny and can not only read the room but also deliver to the room and captivates his audience with perfect balance. This is a rare skill! JD is our first choice for our events and our clients.
I've worked with John on a number of ventures over the years, and he always brings his signature energy, creativity and professionalism to everything he does. Through his work with PET-Xi, he's helped us engage, inspire and reach new audiences — from students to stakeholders, using his voice and platform to make a real difference. He's a natural connector, a brilliant communicator, and a true champion for people and progress.
Working with John is always a pleasure. He brings a rare mix of energy, professionalism and the ability to connect with any audience. Whether it's a live event or branded content, he always delivers and adds his own spark to elevate the brief. We know when John is involved, the job will be done brilliantly and the client will be impressed.
