Lockdown Legends Official Digimag | Page 21

Presenters Meet Your Hosts An integral part of the music industry is radio-play of the hits, and the DJs who play the music. It is therefore fitting that a number of well-known DJs are part of the Lockdown Legends production, including our two presenting hosts. SEAN BROKENSHA Renowned as the Musicguru, Sean Bokensha has worked in radio, television and live entertainment since the mid-80s. He has written, produced and directed media broadcasts on DSTV, BBC, SABC and ETV, and has also worked extensively, in those capacities, in the education, health and corporate spheres. For the past two decades he has presented radio and TV shows specifically about music, and its relationship with our everyday lives and broader global issues, on a variety of platforms including 702, SAFM, Cape Talk, Mnet Mzani and ETV. Sean also consults for the film and advertising industry, and works as a copywriter in the music industry, encompassing biographies, press releases and liner notes. He has been a judge and copywriter for The Backing Vocalist and Session Musicians Awards since 2015. Sean also lectured radio production and presentation at the Tshwane University of Technology for three years. GUEST HOSTS & SHOUT-OUTS We’re privileged to have a host of fellow musicians, wellknown DJs and music industry celebs also involved in Lockdown Legends, some of whom make guest appearances in the show, and others who help introduce some of the acts. They also helped market and promote the show before the time, and we’d like to say a huge thank you to all! Darren Scott Dave Guselli He presented the regular Musicguru feature, which ran on Talk Radio 702 for 18 years. Sean still occasionally does features on 702 Cape Talk, but now hosts Sean Brokensha’s Musicguru Mix, on Mix Fm. Sean is also a live entertainer, public speaker and MC, with a wide diversity of corporate, school, private and theatre audiences. Ultimately, driving these various endeavours has always been Sean’s passion – not only for music, but ultimately the telling of a well-crafted story that will enrich lives. Kevin Savage Tony Blewitt David Gresham SAMANTHA LEHOKO Eastern Cape born Samantha Lehoko found her passion for entertainment and the performing arts at the tender age of 13. She honed her radio skills at UCT’s campus radio, hosting a myriad of shows and keeping audiences glued to their speakers. From taking Dramatic Arts as an eighth subject in high school to studying Ethics, Anthropology and Sociology at tertiary level, Sam has managed to channel her knowledge and experiences into the media and broadcasting industry. Benjy Mudie Peter Wise YFM caught hold of Sam in 2014 and found someone young, fresh and fun, but most importantly, different, and she went on to also work for Metro FM and Power FM. Clearly born for the entertainment industry, this young and dynamic talent then caught the eyes of local TV producers and became the face of Channel O and a presenter on Turn Up. She was also responsible for keeping partygoers in the loop of the hottest parties on ETV’s popular music show, Club 808. This diverse and multi-talented young woman has become a favourite in the different media platforms ranging from radio, television, event emceeing and public speaking.
