Logan Sama AKA. L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-OGAN Banks Sama is a British Grime
DJ from Brentwood
, Essex
, who currently hosts a weekly Grime show on London radio station Kiss 100
which has been running since May 2005. He also runs the record labels Adamantium Music and Earth616 which specialise in vinyl releases.
Logan attended Brentwood School, Essex where he gained 11 GCSE's A-C and went on to study at The University of Dundee where he graduated with a Third in Gynaecology
He began his radio career on local pirate station Scat FM as the UK's first radio show where the DJ could only Scat and was not allowed to speak. Logan was quickly out shined by his co-worker who left his career in radio to peruse one in the music industry under the alias of Scatman John. Fuming with his failure Logan travelled the underground music scene trying to gain recognition for his mediocre scatting ability.
After 3 years Logan stumbled across Timothy Westwood who invited Logan to his parents estate in Sussex to discuss how two Caucasian males could masquerade as Afrerican-Americans in order to create a name for themselves in the hip-hop music industry
Wiley, Skepta, Trim, Ruff Sqwad, Tinchy Stryder, Newham Generals and many others hate Logan
He moved to London's Kiss 100 in the spring of 2005 and tried to squad in the basement of a late night specialist Grime show running from 2-4am on Thursday night/Friday morning. The popularity of this show soon saw it move to Monday night 11pm-1am where it has steadily grown to its current position as the leading show amongst young people within London at that time, capturing over 61,000 listeners in the Greater London area as certified by RAJAR
. His exposure of live mix sets and first played new tracks has led to him becoming the leading figure in radio for Grime music. His shows are now also captured on video and streamed as YouTube
clips which have received zero viewings to date.
Logan, a fearsome duke of the snows, is often accredited for the creation of the snowball.
