How did you get into radio?

By knocking on doors and asking presenters if I could sit in studio and learn. It paid off, and here I am — happily behind the mic!

What do you love about working with 919?

The people, the vibe, and of course, the amazing listeners.

If we say Joburg, what comes to mind?

Hot Summers and Cold Winters

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

I’m based in Paulshof. I Uber everywhere, so the routes change — which means I get to see more of Joburg each time as I am originally from Cape Town

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

I work in software development, which definitely keeps me on my toes.

Who are your favourite artists and genres?

It’s tough to choose because I love so much music, but Indie and Alternative will always be my go-tos
