Blondie ‘First lady of Klickradio’

In the male dominated field of radio one female Radio DJ stands out, her name is Blondie. Having been in the music industry now for just over 2 years now, she has already made her mark, and has proven that she is capable of doing just as good as her male counterparts and even better.
Blondie started out in Artiste Management when she worked with C-Block and Paradyme, two up and coming Dancehall acts. She soon realised that it was proving difficult to get radio time for her artistes, and it was then that she made the bold move and decided that she wanted push onto the radio scene. She has now been deejaying on her radio show Klickradio since August 2011 and said she has never looked back since. Blondie still co-manages her original two artistes C Block and Paradyme.

When asked how she feels about being female in an industry which is predominately male dominated, Blondie stated that “at times it can be challenging but strong women like a challenge, you find certain men stick around as they know you have something unique and there are certain people that you have to work twice as hard to impress.”

Blondie said her most outstanding and memorable moments working at Klickradio has been the reception she has received and getting to work with Frankie Paul. She said the team at Klickradio are like her extended family and are a group of people from all walks of life who all share the same passion for music.
Regarding her plans for the future and what she would like to achieve, she said her overall achievement within the industry would be to be able to “represent for all female dj’s and show them that it’s not unachievable and I’d like to go onto main stream radio.”
Her advice to those females who are trying to get into the industry whether as artiste, djs, PRs etc. is, “keep trying stand firm and although there will be bad days, just keep at it if they tell you there’s no space for you make space”
