Deborah Grant is an Irish radio DJ and music journalist based in the UK. She is a primary broadcaster on BBC Radio 6 Music, where she hosts the flagship weekday evening show New Music Fix Daily.
Grant was born and raised in Dublin, Ireland. She has identified herself as an "atheist Irish Jew," noting that her Jewish heritage and her grandfather's history as a touring jazz saxophonist significantly influenced her musical trajectory.[2] Growing up in Dublin during the 1990s, she was a dedicated listener of the city's pirate radio scene, particularly Spectrum 101 (which evolved into Phantom FM), and cites RTÉ's John Kelly as a major broadcasting inspiration.[3] She moved to London at age 18 to study music, initially working in various administrative roles while DJing in the capital's club circuit.[4]
