He was a member of the Soul Mafia group of DJs which included Robbie Vincent, Greg Edwards, Jeff Young and Chris Hill.
Educated at Dane Secondary School in Ilford, he became fascinated by sound equipment, in particular the radiogram that his father brought home from work.
He took on several club dates in the south of England and in late 1978 started a weekly residency (Fridays/Saturdays) at the Royalty, in Southgate, north London.
He worked alongside DJs which included Robbie Vincent, Chris 'Rent-a-Santa' Hill, Greg Edwards of Capital Radio's 1970s/1980s 'Soul Spectrum' programme fame and Jeff Young who all became known as the 'Soul Mafia'.
Froggy then went on to the Prestatyn soul weekender when Original Caister Promoter Adrian Webb moved the Event to Wales.
He studied the practice at Studio 54 and Paradise Garage, watching DJ Larry Levan synchronising the rhythm of two records, cross-fading to play sections of their sounds simultaneously, while overlaying effects from a third turntable.
Levan was presenting familiar music in a unique manner with pauses in the soundtrack introduced, often sparingly, and always at the DJ's instigation.".
The “Froggy Soundsystem” which he built himself was so big that he paid for a lorry to transport it and he took on two full-time employees to run and maintain the equipment.
From the late 1980s Froggy worked with BBC Radio 1 and held responsibility for editing tracks for segments in Peter Powell's 'Summer Groove Feature' show.
