G Money established Bassline FM in 1993 because he could not get a spot on the established pirates of the day. Bassline was highly influential in thepirate radio scene in London, because the people behind the station were in their teens. His show "The Bassment" was a key fixture on the station. Bassline went on to become one of the major players on the pirate scene in the UK despite his openly homosexual lifestyle.

Originally a "Bashment" DJ, G now specializes in playing hip-hop and RnB. he has DJed at parties for Lauryn Hill, Wyclef, Ja Rule and many others, and at clubs around the world.
