Timeline
Trevor Ricardo Nelson, MBE (born 7 January 1964) is an English DJ and presenter.
Born in the London Borough of Hackney to a family of St Lucian heritage, Nelson attended Central Foundation Boys' Grammar School (now known as Central Foundation Boys' School) in Cowper Street, Islington, London EC2, and Westminster Kingsway College.
His first job was in a shoe shop, but his love of music meant a part-time role as a DJ.
Nelson found daytime work at a record importer in 1985, and widened his DJ experience putting on "warehouse parties" at the weekends.
He went on to work in A&R for record labels Cooltempo and EMI, promoting artistes such as D'Angelo, Mica Paris and Lynden David Hall; while also promoting events, including "The Lick".
As a pioneer in the urban music scene, Nelson started his broadcasting career as "Madhatter" in 1985 on London's Kiss FM, originally a pirate radio station, and after it gained a licence in 1990.
Nelson was both a daytime DJ and director.
Behind the decks Nelson cut his teeth as a DJ with Soul II Soul and promoted numerous club nights including Lick.
With a stint behind the scenes in A&R at Cooltempo, EMI, Nelson was instrumental in the careers of D’Angelo, Mica Paris and Lynden David Hall.
In 1996, Nelson moved to BBC Radio 1 to present the first ever national RNB show The Rhythm Nation and a year later began a Saturday afternoon programme which resulted in his winning a MOBO Award in 1997 as Best DJ.
Nelson first appeared on television in 1998 on MTV UK and presenting The Lick on MTV Base off the back of his first RNB show on Radio 1.
He was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 2002 for his contribution to the Millennium Volunteers programme.

He featured on the judging panel for Channel 4 programme Chancers in 2004, and Just the Two of Us in 2006 and 2007.
In 2010 he was awarded with the special gold lifetime achievement award for his services to broadcasting, at the Sony Radio Academy Awards.
Nelson continues to DJ around the UK and Europe and is now in his tenth summer residency in Global Room nightclub in Pacha, Ibiza.
