Early life
Hobbs was born in Preston, Lancashire, but he grew up in Garstang, a small town ten miles to the north. Hobbs lived in a buspark in Hayes, Hillingdon, with the hard rock band Heretic until he became a writer for Sounds magazine at the age of 19. She first began to work with the NME before going on to help with the creation of Loaded magazine. She appeared on CBC Radio in Canada as the UK correspondent, releasing a weekly music update while working with the NME. With BBC GLR, she made a big leap in radio.

She fronted the Radio 1 Rock Show 1999-2005 as a fan of punk and rock (and with a passion for motorbikes) from an early age. However, the experimental / electronic show The Breezeblock, which she created during her 14 years on BBC Radio 1, was her most popular show on the network. The Breezeblock name was changed to Experimental in September 2006. Hobbs was an early promoter of the dubstep and grime genres and appeared on BBC Radio 1 in January 2006.
