Ever since I was a child, I have enjoyed listening to the radio and Italian radio announcers such as Linus, Albertino and Fargetta. I attended my first concert at the age of fifteen and I spent hours and hours waiting in line to hear singers such as Renato Zero, Claudio Baglioni and Antonello Venditti. I became even more passionate about music by going to clubs where unknown young DJs began their careers. One of these DJs was a certain Lorenzo Cherubini, better known as the now famous Jovanotti. I organized serenate, birthdays, and a variety of different parties and I remember spending countless evenings in clubs, restaurants and halls with a microphone in hand, entertaining people of all ages. I moved to Canada in 2004 and I soon started listening to CHIN Radio which has really made me feel like I am at home. By listening to CHIN, I also discovered that there are many Canadians who share my passions of music and soccer (of course!). I also work with Classy DJ as an Italian-speaking announcer and master of ceremonies for various functions such as weddings and feste. In 2006 I won the CHIN Top Ten @ 2 Host Search Contest and I began hosting the Sunday FM Program from 2-5 pm. I now also host the Drive Home Show on CHIN FM 100.7 every weekday afternoon from 3-7 pm. Having the privilege of being part of the CHIN family is truly like a dream come true for me. And so I ask you -- Please don’t wake me up!!! Ciao da Massimo. Hide
