Bobby Friction presents The Official Asian Download Chart on the BBC Asian Network on Saturday afternoons 3pm-6pm and also the ‘Friction’ show, Monday - Thursday at 10pm.
He joined the BBC in 2002 co-presenting with Nihal on BBC Radio 1 on the Sony Gold award winning ‘Bobby Friction & Nihal presents’ - and joined the BBC Asian Network in 2005 presenting the station's Saturday afternoon ‘Album Chart Show’, before moving to ‘The Mix’, on Sunday afternoons.
Born in West London, Bobby is a hugely influential figure on the Asian club scene and a sought after broadcaster with wide appeal to Asian youth. He won his 2nd Gold Sony award in 2005 for his BBC documentary on the Elections and the BNP in Burnley called ‘Vote Friction’, and completed a hat trick after winning his 3rd Sony Gold in 2007 for his ‘Friction’ show on the BBC Asian Network.
His career as a DJ started by showcasing new Asian talent and sounds from across the Asian musical world in the late 90s. Over the years Bobby has represented British Asian sound as a DJ all over the world and has built an international reputation as a genre mixing turntabilist from Asia to the US, and from the Middle East to the whole of Europe.
He has also presented numerous documentaries and is a regular face on TV in the UK.
Bobby is a recognised specialist in British Asian music and Desi Beats worldwide - but is first and foremost, and will always be, a massive fan of music!
