Lily grew up in North London and under the influence of her older brother & MTV got into Hip-Hop and has since emerged herself in the urban music scene. As a DJ she has a show on Rinse FM and as a journalist has written for countless publications as well as her own Viper Magazine.    Her selection was influenced by experiences in her life including the loss of her mother to whom she was clearly very close and has a real soulful thread running through it.  The Teddy Pendergrass documentary is called 'Teddy Pendergrass: If You Don't Know Me By Now' and is available through Amazon and on BBC I-player in the UK.
