Weekend Breakfast Show Presenter for BBC 6 Music

Natasha's Biography

Natasha Desborough presents Natasha’s Weekend Breakfast Show for BBC 6 Music. Natasha is a highly sought after voiceover artist and is currently ‘the voice’ of BBC 6 Music and The A-List. Her distinctive ‘sexy’ tones have led to her voicing: Army Wives for Channel 4, Freshmen on Campus for Trouble TV, The London Programme for ITV and California Escorts and Real Sex for FIVE. Natasha has appeared as a cultural pundit on programmes including the Richard & Judy Show, BBC 3’s Liquid News, FIVE’s Britain’s Favourite … series and on SKY’s Behaving Badly series.

Natasha began her music career as Programme Controller for Crystal Palace FC's own radio station, where she was responsible for producing, scripting and coordinating the station's programming. From there she moved to Invicta FM, where her husky tones and wicked sense of risqué fun livened up late night listening in Kent.

Joining XFM in central London, Natasha fronted the late night Chill Out Room until her fast-rising popularity earned her the chair of the Breakfast Session alongside guest presenter Iain Lee. 4am starts proved no barrier to Natasha's style and wit – but it did prove very bad for a social life and gigs!

From 2003, Natasha fused music with football for Saturday afternoons and music with comedy for Sunday mornings - writing and co-presenting with Perrier Award nominated comedian Jimmy Carr.

In 2005 Natasha made an emotive documentary for BBC Inside Out on the rising rate of caesarean births.

Natasha described the move to BBC 6 Music’s ‘Weekend Breakfast Show’ in 2005 as the best of both worlds, she says; ‘I get to be mummy to Oscar in the week – going to ‘Caterpillar Music’ and devising games and stories to interest my son and his friends. And then at the weekends I get to let rip on the radio playing out the best music. I also get to dress up as my alter-ego ‘Mortasha Daughter of Darkness’ and do things like molest Wayne Hussey on air! The Weekend Breakfast Show manages to raise a smile early in the morning with bizarre features such as ‘This is Hard Choral’ (the UK wide search to find a kid’s choral version of a 6 Music song) ‘Tash in The Attic’, ‘Mullet Over’ and ‘The Class of…’

Not content with simply being a 'voice' on the radio, Natasha is also a well respected radio producer, having produced all her own shows on XFM. She has recently formed a radio & TV production company.

Natasha also writes about motherhood and juggling career and home. She is currently writing a book of children’s stories.
