Her keen ear for new music and energetic on-air presence have made her a trusted figure for listeners looking to discover the next generation of British talent. In addition to her work with new talent, Jess Iszatt has firmly established herself in the electronic and dance music scenes. She brings high energy to the national airwaves as the host of Radio 1’s Dance Party Starters, setting the musical tone for the weekend.
