In this episode, we had the pleasure of chatting with Blue Canarinho from Reprezent Radio, based in Brixton, London. Blue's journey includes stints as a DJ in Ibiza, a radio presenter, a mentor, and an artist. He’s passionate about inspiring the next generation of radio talent in the UK, contributing significantly to Reprezent Radio's mission. Reprezent is more than just a station; it's a creative platform with multiple channels that empower young people to discover and positively represent themselves. By partnering with pioneering organizations, they’re driving systemic change for the youth.
In 2020, Blue birthed the transformative "Love In The Endz" radio show on Reprezent Radio, a platform that not only broadcasts music but serves as a cultural conduit. With an unwavering focus on underrepresented scenes from around the world, the show became a sonic exploration, introducing London to a myriad of global sounds. Blue's vision, far beyond being a DJ, positioned him as a curator of cultures, weaving a vibrant tapestry of diversity into the musical landscape of London.
Since its launch on FM in 2011, Reprezent Radio has been broadcasting from three shipping containers in Brixton, embodying a forward-thinking approach to underground music. What sets Reprezent apart is its diverse playlist, curated entirely by the station's presenters, featuring both signed and unsigned artists.
In addition to producing unique content through collaborations with brands and media platforms, Reprezent Radio is committed to nurturing future talent. They offer free training and practical experience to young people aged 18 to 25, helping them develop sustainable careers in broadcasting. This dedication to youth development ensures that Reprezent remains a vital part of London’s creative community.
