Iain Baker’s Summary
I've worked in the music industry for all of my life. From humble beginnings in local record shops, to managing the mail order department of the Rough Trade shop in West London, to touring the world with Jesus Jones, I've been surrounded by music, and that love of music has evolved organically into my current postion as a radio broadcaster/social media evangelist.
I've been in radio since 1999, first with 104.9 Xfm here in London, then latterly with the newly founded NME Radio.
In between I found time to co-found the internet radio station/social networking site Shadowglobe, crystallising my ideas about social media.
I'm a enthusiastic web user, passionate in my advocacy of "early adopter" sites such as Twitter and Friendfeed, I have been blogging for four years, and have had an mp3 blog for a year. I love the restless nature of the web, finding it a perfect companion to the shifting sounds and changing musical landscapes that shape my aural development.
