Testimonials

Sometimes it’s best to let others speak for you…that is until you ask your friends for testimonials on Facebook and they have some fun with it

Richard is a pleasure to work with. In my very first interaction with him he was warm and helpful, and he has continuously raised the bar with each new collaboration

Richard is very entertaining & insightful when it comes to the art of addressing an audience. He does not need a script – he creates something beautiful & vibrant right on the spot that you forget about the show he is introducing & wouldn’t have minded listening to him for a few extra minutes

Zita Olinger

Videographer

Richard was a real help giving me exposure for my music. He was always friendly, professional and very encouraging during the process. I appreciate his role with my ‘media-profile’ a lot

Jeanté

Recording Artist

Disruptive. Creative. Hilarious. Witty. Richard is a wealth of knowledge and always goes beyond expectations. Richard doesn’t follow trends, he creates his own, always making a difference

First thing I noticed about Richard (I call him Chemaly), was his sense of humor. The second, was his intellect. From that moment I knew, we’d be friends

Uncle Chem can be summed up in one word, dynamic. His style of interviewing makes you want to spill all the tea

🙂

Charlie Void

Recording Artist

In this day and age, music compilers and presenters are very aloof, and so working with someone like Uncle Chem who displays that old school professionalism, passion, humour and patience, is a welcome relief

Richard is very dynamic and conversational. It was as though I was talking to an old friend rather than being interrogated

Uncle Chem is a cracking radio host – full of energy (even at the crack of dawn), up to date with current trends, engaging and sincere

Dave Starke

Recording Artist

Working with Richard over the past couple years has been nothing but a pleasure. To find someone else in the industry that shares the same amount of passion for music as I do makes for a great working relationship. He’s always at the forefront, pushing new bands and willing to give the underdogs the chance they deserve

Uncle Chem has been a great mentor in the radio world for me. I have learnt a lot through him. His passion, charisma and dedication to radio has propelled me into becoming a better radio presenter myself. Not only is he a great mentor, but he was also one of the best lecturers I’ve had
