About celebrity host Reece Parkinson

Reece Parkinson graduated from the University of East London’s media and communications course in 2015.

After honing his presenting skills at youth station Reprezent and various daytime 1Xtra shows, he became the host of BBC 1Xtra.

Aside from the entertainment-based broadcasts, at his time at BBC Radio he has hosted a range of meaningful conscious content. From the 25th anniversary of Steven Lawrence, the future of Feminism as well as the George Floyd "1Xtra Talks" special.
