For as long as he can remember, he has always listen to chart shows on Capital FM and BBC Radio 1. Even as a small boy, Ricky would sing along to the radio but it was one day in year 7 when listening to Chris Moyles, he openened his imagination to the possibility of radio. Sharing a sense of humour Ricky then decided he wanted to be a radio DJ. Taking Media studies for GCSE&#8217;s was the first step on his conquest.\u00a0 After this, he went to college to study creative media and following on to university to ultimately study radio.<\/p>\n<p>Through university, Ricky created radio pieces such as documentaries, soundscapes and interviews. He used various genres such as comedy and sports. After university Ricky plans to make a career with BBC Radio 1 and plans to become breakfast host. Just like he dreamt as an 11 year old boy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ricky Holder has always listened to radio.
