Howdy eastside listeners,

As you may have read my name is Joey P. Originally from Charlotte, North Carolina, USA I have been traveling around the world visiting many different countries at only the age of 22. Traveling must be with school many people say but I’m actually doing a program with a company called EF. I will be here interning at Eastside Radio for the next six weeks and I am ready for what lies ahead.

Being from a different country, never experiencing Australia and Sydney specifically, I’m ready to figure out what life is all about in this city. Ranging from experiencing new music to hearing about local environmental issues I couldn’t be more excited to be in such a beautiful place! This internship is going to really help me put my feet forward into accepting different world views as well as opening my eyes to new experiences.

I mostly listen to hip-hop, rap and a little bit of alternative music but not too much jazz or blues. I’m excited to learn more about the jazz and blues genres and hopefully be able to leave with some new favourite artists. When I was younger I was into a little bit of rock and a little pop but haven’t found myself listening to it since my early teens. Growing up my parents as well as my brother very much so enjoyed listening to rock as that’s still their music today. Listening to hip-hop and rap makes me feel rejuvenated and adds that extra spice to my day.
