MY BIG BREAK How UK luminaries arrived in the music industry… Rebecca Frank, Executive Producer, BBC Radio 1xtra
“At 19, I was ready for University but took a gap year to go travelling and gain a experience on the reception of TWI Media. Bored of answering the phone all day, I soon badgered the TV producers to give me a researcher job on their music show. “At the same time, a friend of mine who was one of Virgin Radio’s music schedulers gave me
a drum & bass show on their digital pilot station. I LOVE music but the show was awful, and nobody heard it but I learnt so much. “As soon as I heard the BBC were after music enthusiasts for a new radio station, I was sold.
So with only the bare bones of radio experience and a thirst for vinyl and clubbing - I got an interview, spoke about my favourite DJs and tunes, and became a broadcast assistant for the launch team. University was soon a distant prospect and I’m now the executive producer of thedevelopment team at Radio 1 and Radio 1Xtra.”
