Biography
[edit]Seed first joined Radio City in 1990, presenting overnights and the North West Chart Show. Two years later, he moved to the Preston-based station Rock FM for five years, quickly progressing to becoming the station's breakfast presenter.[1]
In 1997, he re-joined Radio City and presented The Kev Seed Breakfast Show for eleven years. Official audience research shows that he was the most popular Breakfast Show presenter that Radio City has ever had, with a record number of listeners every morning.[2] It is also noted that The Kev Seed Breakfast Show was once the most-listened-to radio show outside of London.[citation needed]
On 18 July 2000, Seed was the first presenter to broadcast from Radio City's premises at Radio City Tower. He was also a key driver for Radio City winning Sony Radio Awards in 2005 and 2007.[3]
In August 2008, Seed moved to the Drivetime show (4pm–7pm).[4] He presented the early-evening Drivetime show on the Liverpool radio station Radio City 96.7 until October 2008, when he was suspended and then sacked after pleading guilty to a drink-driving charge.[5][6] Although he appealed, it was reported on 11 November that the station management had upheld their decision.[7] In October 2009, Seed started his new job as the Breakfast Presenter for Wish FM along with shows on Juice FM, the Radio Station for Wigan & St Helens, a year after leaving Radio City. He later presented on 107.6 Juice FM.[when?] In 2014, he was the voice of Sainsbury's on various radio stations.[8]
In addition to his radio work, Seed appears on the club scene and has been resident DJ at some of the biggest clubs in the North West, including The Paradox in Aintree, where he presented Radio City's Saturday Night Live, The Palace in Blackpool, The Park at Charnock Richard, Utopia in Blackburn and The Ritzy in Bromborough. He was previously voted Radio Personality of the Year and also Malibu Club Jock of the Year.[2]
In April 2016, it was announced he would be joining the presenting line-up at Wirral Radio with producer Josef Hollywood, hosting the flagship weekend show.[9]
On 27 July 2020, Seed hosted the first-ever breakfast show at Liverpool Live 24/7.[10]
