Deb Grant

Career

Before joining the BBC, Grant broadcast under the pseudonym Anne Frankenstein. Under this name, she became a presenter on Jazz FM, hosting the Late Night Jazz show and Sunday Drive. Her broadcasting style was characterised by her knowledge of rare groove, funk, and soul. She eventually moved away from the moniker to broadcast under her birth name upon joining the BBC full-time.

BBC Radio 6 Music and New Music Fix

Grant joined BBC Radio 6 Music as a regular presenter in 2023. She was initially paired with Tom Ravenscroft to launch New Music Fix Daily (Monday–Thursday, 7pm–9pm), a show focused on breaking new artists and curation of the station's New Music Fix Playlist. Following Ravenscroft's departure from the station in May 2025, Grant was joined by new co-presenter Nathan Shepherd. Shepherd, who rose to prominence through viral music mash-ups and his Indie Forever show, now hosts the programme alongside Grant, focusing on a mix of indie and experimental new releases.
