How did you get into radio?

I started at 16, job shadowing a talk radio and music station for 2-weeks, and the rest as they say, is history.

What do you love about working with 919?

 I can do spirit, a fresh outlook and an exciting future on the horizon.

If we say Joburg, what comes to mind?

Africa's New York

Where are you based, and what’s the route you travel to get to the station?

I'm based in the heart of Sandton and the best route to travel to the station is the one of least resistance i.e. no potholes, traffic lights not working or other dynamic obstacles.

What do you get up to when you’re not doing your show / working at 919?

Managing The Sandton Times which includes a lot of writing, reading, photography, dining, traveling, and extensive meetings. I do also enjoy cooking, movies, music, LEGO and the theatre.

Who are your favourite artists and genres?

There are so many but right now, I have a lot of EDM, classic rock and classical music on my playlists. My all-time favourite artists include The Corrs, Phil Collins and more.
