EasyFM
is very lucky to have Phil Sutton broadcasting across China. He
is one of the most experienced western DJs to broadcast in China.
His first show kicked off from a studio in Australia some 11 years
ago now. He was the first westerner to be given such an honour.
Phil was one of the key people involved in setting up EasyFM.
Over
the years Phil has alternated his duties by broadcasting from China
Radio International studios in Beijing and from studios in the Olympic
city Sydney.
Phil
is one of those "born-to-talk" DJs, who from the age of five dreamed
of being paid to play his favourite music. It didn't want it to
be merely a passing hobby. He became a radio addict! His parents
were forever trying to take away his tiny radio, which seemed strapped
to his ear night and day.
Before
breaking into radio in rural Australia and then China, Phil worked
in the banking and welfare areas. But this was so boring and Phil
was a restless radio addict just dying to work in a studio.
He hosted music shows in Sydney Australia, including a Nationwide
Weekly top 40 countdown show for many years.
Phil
has many interests outside his love of popular music. His friends
say he's an excellent piano player who has a reputation for entertaining
party-goers late at night with his own unique version of well-known
hits. In fact he's a song writer with more talent than his modesty
is prepared to admit.
Put
a camera and a tourist map in his hands, and Phil will be out the
door and travelling the world on another adventure. He loves exploring
the lesser known spots in the world and that's why China has always
fascinating him.
In
over 10 years of broadcasting in China Phil has made many international
friends and continues to be amazed at the power radio has to entertain
people from all nations.
His
favourites are too many to mention here but when you listen to Phil
each morning, you can be sure that all the music he plays, are his
favourites.
