The world’s next Nelson Mandela!

We all have dreams and aspirations – To possess our very own business, to travel the world or to one day become a mum or dad. These are dreams worth aiming for, as upon completion you feel a sense of self worth and satisfaction.

One man from Melbourne, Australia is working tirelessly to achieve his ultimate desire – to eradicate world poverty while working with and inspiring Gen-Y that they too can aim to make a positive difference on this Earth.

His name is Eric Quasi Agyeman, also commonly known as ‘Ezy’.

Eric is only 25 years old, yet he is an accomplished author, inspirational speaker, humanitarian and also owner and founder of fashion T-Shirt label, PVBS – Clothing the Nakid, where every T-Shirt bought clothes one whole child in Cambodia!!

The new girl on the music block!

Yesterday, on behalf of 88.6 Plenty Valley FM in Melbourne, I presented live on site at  the 2011 Rotary Eltham Town Festival, North-East of Melbourne! It was a fantastic day, filled with awesome entertainment, including their very own ‘Eltham Idol‘, as well as carnival rides, food, wine and markets!!


Fortunately, I had the opportunity to interview the winner of this year’s ‘Eltham Senior Idol’ before she went on stage.

Musically ‘hipstensive’!

The Jezabels were formed in Sydney, Australia, where the band members met at the University of Sydney. Since releasing their first EP, ‘The Man is Dead’ in 2009, The Jezabels have taken Australia by storm. In the months to come, The Jezabels will not only tour Australia, but also North America and Europe.

Yesterday, I chatted to Nik Kaloper, the drummer behind Australian music sensation, ‘The Jezabels’. The interview went live to air on ‘Friday Drive with Gianna and Brendan’ on 88.6 Plenty Valley FM  in Melbourne!

Check out the interview below to find out why The Jezabels describe their original sound as ‘hipstensive’!
