About four  years ago  I was introduced to  Internet radio by a friend called Dave Collins to a station  called  Radio Gets Wild. He was a DJ there and  he  encouraged me to  just   listen and join the community there. After Listening to the  station for   a  few  months and   frequenting their chat  room   I got to  know  quite  a  lot of  the  DJ's there and bee good friends with them.
After  a few months I decided I would like to try my hand at  Internet broadcasting  and I  applied to be a DJ there. After being Set up with a Mp3 broadcast player and encoders I practiced  on my own for a few weeks  before  going out on air for the  first time as DJ Bluelotus.
At the time  the station was doing their yearly  Marathon and I managed to get  thrown in the  deep end and do my  debut show during this event. Lord I was so nervous I was shaking all over.
After a few shows the   nervousness started to disappear and I started  growing in confidence. Starting off doing  my  weekly show on a  Friday  evening at 6.00pm  until 8.00pm. Soon I was  doing shows to cover for  absent  DJ's  and  also  A Rock  Show on a Saturday Morning. When  one day  an opening for a prime time slot at  10.00pm  on a Monday  became available I  decided to try  something  different. Now I love rock  but I have two sides I am also  a very big romantic And One of the inspirations I  used to  create my  new show  Was Peter Grahams  "Love show" on a Sunday Evening On Breeze radio. So I decided  my  new show would be a love songs  show and I called  it "The Love  Zone ". From the very  first show It  became popular. Meanwhile I  had  taken on a  role on another station called  City Vibe Radio which  unfortunately  does not  exist any  more. The Show was Called " Sunday  Love songs " which was very popular  on that station too. That  first  year I  won the  silver Presenters award for  my shows  and also The DJ Of the  year  award from  City Vibes affiliate station A.Q.H. Radio Based  in Singapore where the show was also aired live to the  university  Campus .The  following year i  won the  Gold Presenters award  on RGW  for my  contribution to the  station with my  shows I also set up new presenters and  helped with the  web  page by  submitting all the  RSS feeds  for various Genres of  music interest, While  doing  artist reviews and  also doing much  cover for absent  Presenters and Dj's. This was all getting a little too much  for me as working  ull time  too I was  up until the  early hours of the  morning  doing all this I was  Shattered.
