Her 'Dubstep Warz' show for Radio1 in January 2006 is widely regarded at the show that broke the dubstep sound globally... and she follows this in August 2008 with the 'Generation Bass' special curated at her invitation by the original Dubstep Warz DJs...
Mary Anne released a definitive underground compilation album in June 2008 'Evangeline' on the Planet Mu label, featuring exclusive dubs from some of her favourite artists operating on the electronic underground scenes she supports, following her notorious debut for the label 'Warrior Dubz' in October 2006...
Mary Anne curated her 2nd stage for BBC Radio1 Sonar Festival in June 2008, featuring Mala, Flying Lotus and Shackleton... following the historic UK Dubstep Showcase at Sonar Festival in 2007 taking the sound out of small humid clubs for the very first time and onto an international festival stage infront of 8.5 thousand people plus with Skream, Oris Jay and Kode 9 & The Spaceape..
Mary Anne left school at the age of 16 and went to work in an egg packing factory for the princely sum of £39 per week..
She quickly ran away to London with a hard rock band and lived on a bus with them in a car park in Hayes, Middlesex for 12 months, working as their lighting engineer, record sleeve artist, wardrobe designer… and mechanic.
Her great ambition was to become a music journalist. She figured the next logical step would be to produce her own fanzine - Krush...
She sent a couple of issues along with a demented CV detailing her adventures to the Editor of Sounds music paper and landed a job with them at the age of 19.
At 21, having been profoundly influenced by a snapshot of Metallica, Mary Anne sold all her worldly goods and bought a one-way ticket to Hollywood, where she lived in a garden shed...
She spent a year as Sounds US correspondent in the dark underbelly of LA writing about the fledgling thrash metal scene, Jane’s Addiction, Guns N' Roses et al...
At Sounds Mary Anne met fellow teenager James Brown (legendary writer and publisher, not the Godfather of soul) who became a lifelong friend...
James moved to NME as Features Editor and when Mary Anne returned to London from LA, he promptly poached her to work with him at NME. Mary Anne spent three years on the newsdesk and also worked as a major feature writer there, writing cover stories on everyone from Ice Cube to Nirvana...
She went on with James Brown to form part of the original team he put together to launch Loaded magazine. She worked there as Music Editor, and also writing major undercover stories about private detectives, cocaine dealers to the stars and most notoriously a Soho sex club...
Mary Anne got her break in radio at BBC GLR on Sunday mornings alongside Mark Lamarr...
She presented groundbreaking shows on XFM during their trail broadcasts, which helped to win their licence...
She was poached by Radio 1 in 1997 after a particularly confrontational interview with Radio 1's then Head Of Production (Trevor Dann) was bootlegged around the BBC and found the desk of the Controller of the day, Matthew Bannister...
Mary Anne's time at Radio 1 has been hectic… she has hosted shows from all the major award ceremonies: Q, NME, Brits, Kerrang, Mercury Music Prize… and made documentaries about artists as diverse as David Bowie, Slipknot and The Sex Pistols…
She championed comedy god Ricky Gervais in his pre-Office days… hosted a movie review show with Mark Kermode called Cling Film… founded and fronted the award-winning Radio 1 Rock Show for five years...
TV... there’s quite a lot, M.A. hosted a season of live coverage of the ‘World Superbike Championship’ for British Eurosport in 2005… she made a series about global biker culture in India, Russia, Japan, the US and Europe for BBC Choice,‘Mary Anne's Bikes’… fronted 27 hours of live coverage at Glastonbury Festival for the BBC… and has guested on everything from BBC2’s ‘Never Mind The Buzzcocks’ to ‘John Peel’s Record Box’ for Channel4....
Mary Anne can ride any motorcycle you care to park in front of her...
