Accomplishments
I founded Kutting Edge Radio Broadcasting because as a lover of diverse music, I wanted a station that would fully embrace this concept, while allowing my and my broadcasters personalities to shine.
I currently staff eighteen radio hosts and DJs from across the world on both stations, ensuring broadcasts go smoothly, syndicated shows are entered and the schedule is maintained.
Within seven months of its inception, KERB was awarded Best Local Business in 2022 by Support Local Music for our community efforts. We received Honorable Mention for the same in 2023, and have been nominated again this year.
This movement is spearheaded by myself, and shows the level of dedication and perseverance I can bring to iHeartRadio as a voice talent and representative.
While I enjoy what I do, I long to move into the big world of mainstream radio with such a known and beloved media organization like iHeart.
