My radio career started at a community radio station in Durban. After the station closed down, I got really lucky and landed a slot at Mr Price’s Red Cap Radio. Under the care of radio guru’s Marcell Sapet and the Yappman, David Yapp, I got into the feel of what a professional radio station was really like. At the same time I landed a job at a casino as a Brand and Promotions Coordinator. Now the ball was really rolling. Oh, forgot to mention I was studying towards a BA degree as well! I enjoyed the professionalism and the energy of Red Cap radio, and the glamour of working in the casino, but something was missing. Growing up in a traditional Hindi household, we listened to “Radio Lotus” more than anything, and Indian music was a big part of our lives. I had to be on Lotus FM. So, I gave Carlito a call and here I am…..

Presently I am completing my final year BComm degree in marketing and present the Late Nite Jammz and Klub Kulcha.

My interests are reading (biographies of famous people), PS2, and watersports. Someday I hope to present a really interesting, witty, and innovative prime time show on Lotus FM. PS. If you have any tips / suggestions on how I could get there, please email me.

By the way, my biggest dream is to be the best son, husband, big brother and dad in the whole world. Someday…..
