It's March baby, and as this means a few things like spring finally being here and International Women's day, it's also an important month for me where I lost a dear friend...but not to fear, Sunetta or Sunny or Suni as she was known, was an avid music lover, dancer, prancer and energy mover. With this in mind, I dedicate this episode to her keeping her alive and it has me dancing and laughing and dutty wining in the studio. It builds as usual with all the energy, love, smiles and of course sunshine from within.

Welcome to Getting Ready, a radio show that builds with energy! It's Valentines, whether you celebrate valentines, or go out with your mates, or maybe you sat at home hating it and everyone else for it's cringey forceful nature in forcing love and singling the singles out- well this show is for you. I bring you hot stuff, sexy flirtatious tunes, but remember this show builds so be ready for the journey of love hate and everything in between.

Welcome to Getting Ready the show that builds with energy, getting you ready for whatever you have lined up. It’s Training day, my beautiful people so you know what that means, we’re still learning but going in hard and having fun and mischief. Join me on a journey of funk/soul/hiphop/Grime/DnB/Jungle/House and more! Come be your authentic self, dance and enjoy!

This is the first episode of Getting ready...your very own hype session, a show that builds through the hour. Thank you for being here for my First time and being gentle with me because as Radio goes there’s a few bloopers, and mix up of song names, to say the least, but it will only get better from here on in. Hope you leave as pumped as I do and enjoy your first time experience with me ;)
