The best of the best of Singapore’s radio veterans

Old friends, new friends, old rivals, new allies and the odd new voice come
together in the new Radio 91.3: a gathering of the best of the best of Singapore’s
radio veterans. It’s a lineup that’s bound to shake up Singapore radio and inject a
shot of healthy competition into an industry that some say has been languishing
for lack of it. Let us introduce you – or in most cases reacquaint you – with the
people who’ll soon be whispering sweet nothings into your ears, supplying you
with food for thought, and generally keeping you company from morning till night.
As you can see, you’ll be in very good company…

Sultry Suzanne
Suzanne Walker is one name that needs no introduction. A veteran of the radio
industry since 1993, her rising star shot sky high with the unprecedented success
of Love Songs on Class 95FM. Something you may not know about Suzanne is
her fetish for felines. The proud owner of five furry friends, her kitty collection
commenced with a gift from Jessica Soo… and kept growing, to the point where
she had to move in to a new loft apartment in Holland Village which she’s just
finished renovating. Another little-known fact about Suzanne is that she’s a mum.
Hard to picture this raunchy bad girl of rock ‘n’ roll as a mother figure, but that
she is to her 10-year-old son Gabin, who resides in France with his father and
explains her frequent trips there. She’s also an exercise junkie who religiously
practises yoga, swims, skips and occasionally surfs. Besides cats, she collects
Buddhas and guitars, and aspires to be a ‘spiritual rock star’. Her yin and her
yang may tug her in different directions, but she’s one grounded lady with a
helluva sexy voice and a great sense of humour.

Voracious Marilyn
As spunky as that other famous Marilyn, and as skinny as the latter was
voluptuous, Marilyn Lee is a lady of voracious appetites – for music, the arts,
travel, life’s rich tapestry of experiences…And food. Beefier belles pale by
comparison when this lean mean eating machine hits the buffet table. A graduate
of the Radio Academy, this fresh young talent debuted with a late-night slot on
Class 95FM. She claims to have enjoyed the luxury of chatting and whiling away
the witching hours with her loyal legion of nocturnal fans against the velvet cloak
of night and the velvety strains of chillout tunes. She counts among her favourite
artistes the Maachi boys of Taiwanese rap fame, and Norah Jones.
Precocious Petrina
Radio presenter, emcee, TV host, stage actress, singer and voice actor, Petrina
Kow has done them all – and at one point in time, all at once. She’s also a loving
mother to her ‘little queen’ Victoria, and the wife of the boss of animation studio
Peach Blossom Media, with whom she shamelessly slept with to secure her
recent gig as Singapore’s only animation voice director. She numbers among her
greatest achievements being one of the first two Chinese women ever to break
into the Bollywood movie industry. As a member of the infamous Dashboard
Divas, her dulcet tones have been heard at the Esplanade and at numerous
charity concerts and corporate events. She claims she’s a great cook (well, she’s
never killed anyone… yet), and a scrapbooking fiend. Listeners remember her
fondly as one of the most popular hosts of the Morning Express on Class 95FM.
She was the honey-tongued counterpart to The Flying Dutchman – with a
stinging wit that was more than a match for her older male contemporaries. And
still is.

Anything-but-average Joe
A veteran of more than 16 years in Singapore radio, Joe Augustin has ruled the
airwaves as a solo presenter and co-host with the likes of Melissa Hyak, Jessica
Soo, Hamish Brown and the Flying Dutchman, on Class 95FM and Power 98.
He’s also an experienced stage and screen performer, having made guest and
cameo appearances on iconic sitcoms like ‘Under One Roof’ and ‘3 Rooms’. His
one-man show ‘Just Joe: What He Can’t Say On Radio’ was a sellout at Raffles
Hotel’s prestigious Jubilee Hall. A sought-after emcee and voice-over, his voice
features on hundreds of TV commercial soundtracks and corporate videos. Equal
parts serious and funny, he’s one of the most versatile voices in the industry.
He’s also a devoted family man, a student of business and marketing, an
authority on local and international broadcasting… and anything but your
average Joe.

No Plain Jane
The lovely Jane Boey has a face that’s wasted on radio. Which may very well be
one of the reasons why her career has spanned the gamut of dancing, modeling,
presenting, emceeing and acting. She’s graced Singapore’s TV screens in
‘Under One Roof’, ‘Triple Nine, ‘Phua Chu Kang’ and many others. Since 2000,
Jane has been a presenter with WKRZ 91.3 FM, as well as a sought-after events
host. No airhead on air, Jane combines beauty with brains and brings an
intelligent depth to every topic she covers. She has a Bachelor’s degree in
Economics and a Master’s degree in Marketing.
