You know how they say that radio is dying?
How independent arUst are starving and being
taken advantage of? Well, what I do is produce
vibrant, free-spirited, content and energy over the air &
in person. Showcasing indie arUsts as well as the top banging hits. I treat
everyone as a human being, never working with ill intent, I give my fans what
they want, and a reason to celebrate life! In fact, in just the beginning of
publishing my podcast, people from all over the world wanted me to showcase
their work on my show. Many people have said I am their inspiraUon and
others always ask me to teach them what I know.
