Katie-Louise Buxton (Katie-Lou) is a radio presenter, host, and music journalist with a naturally warm, friendly on-air style and a genuine love of connecting with people through music.

Currently heard on Shock Radio and Radio Alty, Katie-Louise brings thoughtfulness, curiosity, and calm confidence to every show she presents. Her journey into radio began through music and performance, having previously worked as a musician and actor. One of her most memorable moments was performing in a choir on stage with Sir Paul McCartney — an experience that sparked her passion for storytelling and the power of live sound.

Known for her calm, passionate, and approachable nature, Katie-Louise loves getting to the heart of the stories behind the songs and creating a space where listeners feel welcomed and heard. Her sincere and people-first approach has been recognised with industry awards, including Demo Factor Winner 2025 and Best Chart Programming at the 2025 Student Radio Awards.

At the core of everything she does is a strong belief in creativity, community, and the ability of radio to bring people together — one conversation at a time.

Away from the studio, Katie-Louise is most likely at a gig, watching films, or out exploring the outdoors. She’s happiest surrounded by great music, great stories, and the people who share her enthusiasm for both.
