In this episode, one of the original Superstar DJs, Norman Cook AKA Fatboy Slim details his amazing journey from wanting to be a pop star at the age of eight, to being an actual pop star, before becoming one of the most successful club DJs on the planet. What started as a hobby, became playing weddings … then clubs where he had to make his own music to fill out his sets and then before long he was playing to record breaking 250,000 people in his adopted home town of Brighton. It’s a fascinating tale of what it takes to build a career from a total immersive passion in music to even having a ‘specialist’ toy named after you!
