Birthplace: St. Vincent

Service to Jem: Founder/Broadcast Technician

Profile:

At the tender age of six he had a serious passion to become a Technician and Radio Personality and so his childhood dreams have come true. In 1997, he became an Announcer on Hitz Fm, and for him, it seemed as if it was just yesterday. Born on November 27, Reni spends his leisure moments enjoying the beach and listening to the sound of the waves, looking at the mountainous landscapes and hiking. Mount La Soufriere just happens to be one of his favourite trails. Reni has been an Amateur Radio Operator for almost all his life, communicating with people around the globe. This for Reni is his favourite hobby. You may visit www.qrz.com/database?callsign=j88dm to get an incite into Reni's Amateur Radio world. Reni likes doing things that makes him feel happy especially when it comes to new ideas and applying them into action and reality. He enjoys the privilege of freedom and being responsible, but on the other hand Reni doesn’t like to hide his talents and be taken for granted. He loves slow hit songs which makes him feel relaxed and reflects on the wonders of life. Reni hopes that his segment of classic inspiration causes the music to heal the hearts of listeners, so remember the next song Reni plays is dedicated to you.

Determined to see his passion come to reality Reni decided to launch his own radio station called JemRadio. The idea behind the station is to cater to the listening needs of not those only in the Caribbean but all over the world. So far JemRadio has been touching the hearts of thousands and it continues to grow day by day.

Announcer's Name: GIG

Real Name: Craig Francis

Location: St. Lucia

Birth date: 27th May 1986

Birthplace: St. Lucia

Service to Jem: Volunteer

Profile: Hello everyone! My name is Craig “GIG” Francis. I am from a small, sunny island in the Caribbean called St. Lucia, located 14º north and 16º west. I live in the country-side of that island and I have grown to love the country side- the green, the fruits, the silence (at times lol).

I am completing an AD in Architectural Technology but I work as a teacher at our island’s only SDA secondary school, the St. Lucia SDA Academy. I attend a small, but, dynamic church in a valley. There, I serve as a musician (my favorite), a deacon and an Education Secretary. I won’t call it an office, but I also sing there.

I love sports (especially CRICKET), listening to and playing music, surfing the web, meeting new people online and much more. God has blessed me in music so much. I am part of an Acapella group of four (4), and it is a year since I started a music group of five (5). I’ve been in music for about eight (8) years now. I have also been writing my own songs and putting together my own music. I have only one song recorded so far and there are many more to come.

I am glad to be part of this network, JEMRADIO, because I will get to be in touch with people far and wide from all walks of life. I will also get to bring many of you together via radio. I hope to continue making JemRadio a blessing to your life. Keep listening; I have something good in store for you!

Around the world we go with JemRadio!
