GLEN LEWIS
His inspiration for radio came through a friend who introduced him to his father’s music collection via Radio Swazi where the friend’s dad was a DJ. Through continued interaction with this station he got bitten by the radio bug and sought to see himself behind the microphone.
Glen’s passion for radio was so alive that he was even willing to work on radio for free!
He started recording demo tapes of himself—his training involved recording other DJs and then mimicking them.
Gradually he developed his own style. When he felt that he was good enough to be on radio, he started sending Demo tapes to various radio stations indiscriminately. On many occasions he got negative responses, but he didn’t give up.
After another push he got a gig at Radio Thohoyandou. A year and a half into working at Radio Thohoyandou, Glen went to the Soweto Show (similar to the Rand show) with the radio station. Radio Bop was also there, and they were so impressed with him that they made him an offer right there. He went on to work at Radio Bop for the following 5 years.
