The latest addition to the Lockdown Radio familia, Emrah is a former resident of Atlantis having attended Atlantis Senior Secondary.
Born, March 1, 1983, Emrah’s love for the Arts began very early, with active involvement in talent shows, theatre , television, & music of all genres.
Known for his sarcastic wit, love of comedy and all things entertainment, he spent some time on the Stand-up comedy scene sharing the stage with Rustum August, Gino Fernandez & opening for the likes of Riaad Moosa & Stuart Taylor. Even landing small role on the popular South African “soapie” – Generations in 2012.
All the while, spending hours building a career as a Learning & Development specialist, Emrah looks to give back by empowering through skills & career development in the private sector with a keen focus on developing & preparing youth to enter the job market.
Emrah believes radio is the best platform to not only entertain, but also engage listeners with quality content & topics that harness the power of imagination to evoke change & create meaningful awareness.
His favourite quote: “If you’re afraid to fail… you won’t get anywhere” . It is constant reminder to push on toward your goals in spite of your fears.
Although a family man at heart, Emrah enjoys those moments of solitude, reading, binging a series, or the odd “siesta” in between “the madness” called life.
