To find the best radio stations Cyprus had to offer.<br \/>\nI moved to Cyprus from the UK, North London, In September 1992 and had no plans to become a radio presenter. Yet one evening while scanning radio channels to program into my car stereo, I heard a British born Cypriot called Laki presenting a show called &#8216;it&#8217;s about that time&#8217; on a Local Larnaca station. Laki played RnB and tunes from the 80&#8217;s. A few nights later, I met Laki by chance in a bar and we got chatting.<br \/>\nI was invited up to the station and the rest as they say is history. A few months later I was given my own slot on another Larnaca station at the start of 1993 and was thrown straight into the deep end by presenting the drive time show 5pm-7pm and &#8220;STREET SOUNDS&#8221; was born.<br \/>\nBy the end of 1994 I fell out with the management of the station and decided to move to Limassol where I worked in music retail. It&#8217;s there where I met up with Panos the managing director of a new station called Melody radio 103.1fm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had one thing on my mind once I got my car out of customs at the Limassol port.
