A BIRD’S EYE VIEW INTO THE MUSIC LIFE OF DJ STIKKI.

THE BEGINNING

My name is Jim (DJ Stikki) and I have been in music for as long as I have known myself. Growing up on the Island of St. Lucia in the West Indies, my main interest was always music.  I first learned to DJ and at the age of 17, I played at 2 of the major night clubs on the Island and helped out on the FM radio station (RCI) on Saturday afternoons. But I wanted to do more with my love for music which lead me to move to Canada in 1989.

In Canada, my first DJ gig was at a local bar in Pickering (O’Tooles) then moved to Toronto and continued DJing at different nightclubs and private venues. Also did some work with Toronto Radio Stations including Q107, CHUM FM, CHFI 98.1, KISS 92.5 and Mix 99.9 (Now Virgin Radio).

Then it was time to do more with music and work towards becoming a Recording Engineer.  First, I studied at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, then took private tutoring to learn to play music by ear.  worked freelance at different studios but quickly realized that it would be best to build my own a recording studio if I wanted to succeed in the music business.

CURRENTLY

So with all the music knowledge from music production to radio, I decided to join RJL Radio to produce and host The Stikki Mix Show. The show was broadcasted live every Friday from 6pm to 8pm E.S.T and re-broadcasted on Tuesdays from 12noon to 2pm E.S.T.  We were able to build a consistent worldwide listener base of about 10,000 and growing.  The Stikki Mix Show is now being broadcast on Stikki Radio and currently the only internet radio show in the Oakville/Burlington area.  We play a wide variety of music from Motown to Rock to Reggae.

THE FUTURE

What the future holds, we don’t know for sure but I am committed to make Stikki Radio all that it could be so the Stikki Mix Show will be your perfect kick off to the weekend.

We will continue to work hard at finding the right balance of music and relevant information to keep you entertained and informed. That is why we continue to develop themes that will keep the show interesting and create a memorable moment for you.

You are our most valuable asset so please do not hesitate to let us know how we can make Stikki Radio better. I truly believe that there is always room for improvement and Stikki Radio can only be successful if we do it together.

We look forward to a long and enjoyable relationship!
