We had the good fortune of connecting with CVS Radio 1 and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi CvsRadio1, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
My initial thought was to provide a safe place for musicians, artists, and DJs to showcase their talents to the world. The plan is to broadcast Reggae and dancehall music through different lenses which includes interviews, guest hosts, radio spins and ads.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
The most important factor is my ability to identify good music. Its a pleasure to stream roots reggae and dancehall music on the world wide web. Also you can link our network of other musicians/artists that are looking for live exposure. Another factor is that this is an independent radio station and I can negotiate with any artists, musicians, and DJs based on their musical goals.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Simply Wholesome Health Food Restaurant is a unique venue that has live entertainment and great food, its an assurance to feel the cultural and social vibes. Dub Club is another area where a lot of the reggae scene resides in the midsts of the Los Angeles area. Hermosa Beach especially at the lighthouse where there are a lot of reggae fans, live jazz at noon time. Lastly Saint Rocke gives off a great vibes.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Thank you to the listeners of reggae music!   I give thanks for the support from my family and friends. I have had the good fortune to tour internationally as a reggae bass player for various artists throughout my musical career. Currently, I am touring with the legendary Wailing Souls.  I get to see the positive impact of reggae music first hand.  I take those positive experiences and hope to channel it in all aspects of my life, like my online internet radio station, CvsRadio1. All musicians are respected on my platform.  I help spread the good vibes of reggae music to a global audience. And of course I thank all the artists that contribute their music and the listeners that tune in to CvsRadio1.
