Industry Spotlight Interview with Radio Host, Edward Zephyrin


State your name and occupation

Edward Zephyrin but known to most as "Ez". I am a PR/Marketing major/ a Radio host. (Fat Boy Radio)

The industry spotlight highlights the movers and shakers of the entertainment industry. How does that apply to you?

 I am trying to shake up the industry with new ideas and reinvention. Being able to re-invent yourself equals longevity

 What are some of initiatives you are taking to bring reinvention?

Just learning. Everything that spikes my interest: Researching and adjusting to concepts.

 How do you translate it into the music and radio world?

I look at the competition of both fields and see what they doing and how I can do it better.

 How long have you been a radio host for and what made you choose this path?

 I have been doing radio for about 3 years. But as of the past year I became seriously into it. I picked it up as a hobby with my friends to give a different view on Hip Hop.


 What are some of your plans for Fat Boy Radio this year?


 To keep getting better and bringing in more hi-profile guests. Better interviews but still having fun showcasing our skills and personalities. I want Fat Boy Radio to showcase new unsigned talent. People are always complaining about the new talent not getting a chance.


 Will Fat Boy Radio ever organize a showcase?


 Yes eventually. When we have the resources it will be sure to happen. But I would like them to be very organized. I'm still researching lol


 According what are the 5 skills a radio host needs to be successful?


 Patience, alertness, knowledge, personality, and a strong team.


 If you could move on to Commercial radio, what radio host would you like to replace?


 Anyone on Hot 97. Except Funkmaster Flex, Angie Martinez, & Paul Rosenberg. lol


 When is your show airing?


 Thursday 5-7:30pm


 Thank you for your time, any last words?


  If someone doesn't give you a lane. Make your own lane. Don't be afraid to be yourself. Being yourself can be the thin line that separates you from everyone else.
