Perry Chotai

Join Perry on Wednesday from 3.00pm to 5.00pm.

For 2 hours of music and interviews on Ridge Radio

 

My name is Pramod Chotai (AKS Perry Chotai). I started broadcasting live on Ridge Radio from August 2023. My interest in Radio broadcasting goes back to 1978. I started broadcasting when I was at University on BBC Radio Leicester, then joined BBC radio Leicester as a station assistant, and continued to gain broadcasting experience at various hospital radio stations. In the 80’s when radio licensing authorities were issuing monthly licenses to broadcasters, I worked and helped establish Bollywood music stations in East London, Crystal Palace and Croydon. Between 1992 and 2011, I worked in Switzerland for Pharmaceutical Companies.

 

My musical interests include Jazz, funk, Motown, and Bollywood music. Currently I present Jazz, funk and Motown music between 3.00 pm and 5.00 pm on every Wednesday on Ridge Radio. However, my plan is to have a Bollywood slot. This would be the first station to broadcast Bollywood music officially on a station south of the river Thames. I am looking forward to that.
