An excerpt from Stevie A's Biography (http://www.steviea.com/)

"...I was still only 14 and without even knowing it, I had become an MC!!! Ha, ha, ha. As the weeks went on, I started to take it more seriously and even done a bit of DJing, but decided to stick to MCing.

At that time, the biggest pirate radio station in my area and the surrounding counties was Don FM run by Nasty V [Vernon] and Easy D [Dave]. The heavyweights on the station were DJ Atmosphere and MC Kingsize, closely followed by MCs Meltdown, Nasty, OC, Otec, Nugski and DJs Lady A, Gussy, G-Force, Charlie Brown, Mellows, Murdock, Pinky, COD, Demo, JP, BPM, Easy D, Nasty V, Climax and so many others! [Sorry if I forgot you].

Anyway, Sean and Carl had been making plans to expand to a to a monthly event, due to the success of the weekly sessions. The new event would be called Teenrage! They had booked Ratpack, Baby D, Atmosphere and Kingsize for the main event. I couldn't believe it! These guys were my idols and the whole neighbourhood was going crazy; everyone was going to be there, from south London and beyond. As a special surprise, Ratpack, Baby D and Kingsize, came down to do a special at Cagneys, the week before Teenrage. It was awesome! Watching these guys on the mic., I new my destiny. That same night, Sean and Carl asked me if I wanted to MC at the Teenrage event… I couldn't believe it and of course my answer was 'Yeah… Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!'.

The day of the event finally arrived [July 17th 1993], it was to be held at Tolworth Recreation Centre, Surrey. All went well with 1500 kids turning up to the event and I played the first two hours. Girls were dragging me off the stage and I found myself signing autographs. The atmosphere was buzzing and MC Stevie A was officially born.

By this time, I was becoming very well known locally. Sean and Carl had been in regular contact with Nasty V and Easy D at Don FM and managed to secure a show for their DJ Exodus and wanted me to MC along side - Oh my gosh… Ha, ha, ha… Bo! I was absolutely out of control with excitement and those who know me, know that there is no calming me down when I'm excited! We arrived there at 4.30pm and tore the house down. It was amazing! From then on I became a regular on Don FM, with up and coming bad boy - DJ Nut Nut. There were many memorable moments with the Don crew, including wild trips to Amsterdam… [As you know, I've been MCing professionally for 10 years now and to do every moment, in my career, the justice deserved, I would have to write a book! So I'm trimming down the stories until then, but I will write one, trust me!].

I continued to work with Teenrage and Don FM up until around 1995 but due to some massive arguments between Don and Teenrage, as well as some other serious incidents, I decided to go solo.

Whilst on Don, I managed to pick up a lot of technical skills, and along with DJs Ruxspin, Phil B, Crown and DJ Nut Nut, I set up Scandal FM. We were the craziest bunch of kids on the airwaves and we discovered DJs such as Scott Garcia, Donna D and Deekline, who played on our station regularly. I remember a fair bit about the Scandal days but much of it is just a blur! Scandal was a constant party and nothing or nobody else mattered. I think you get the picture! But in case you don't, just try to imagine 15 teenagers earning thousands of pounds a week and running a radio station that they loved more than life! Due to certain events, which I won't go into, the Scandal crew parted company."
