Tony Crucial White – DJ & Radio Presenter
Hi, I’m Tony Crucial White, a passionate DJ and radio presenter with decades of experience in soul, reggae, rare groove, and Soca music. My love for music started at a very young age—standing on milk crates to reach the turntable and spinning records by legends like Slim Smith, Phyllis Dillon, and Alton Ellis.
My career began with my first break hosting the lunchtime disco at my secondary school, where I shared my love for soul music. Soon after, I joined forces with BadBoyWest and Judge Jimmy to broadcast on CB radio, which eventually led to the creation of Sunrise FM.
From 1998, I worked weekends on Sunrise FM, playing a mix of soul, reggae, rare groove, and Soca, continuing until 1991. One of my proudest moments as a reggae DJ was launching Bun and Cheese by Clement Irie and Robert French in 1989 at the Upper Cut Stadium, Forest Gate, for Blue Mountain Records—a day I’ll never forget. I also had the privilege of performing alongside the late Steve Walsh at Pimlico College in the 1980s.
I participated in three Camber Sands weekenders, though I later focused on DJing at venues like the Shady Grove Club, where I was the resident DJ for the popular oldies night until the club closed.
In 2008, I joined SLR Radio, continuing until 2017 while supporting my youngest son’s karting career, which involved traveling between the UK and Europe. Despite taking a step back from regular shows, I remain deeply connected to the music industry and maintain a massive personal music collection spanning decades.
With years of experience in DJing, radio presenting, and live events, I continue to bring passion, energy, and authentic music knowledge to every performance.
