JD


First up, to clear the air...JD stands for Jason Desmond. He was born in Ipoh waaaaaay back in 1977, making him 30-ish and an Arian.

Favourite bands/singers: Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Pearl Jam, Korn, Slipknot… but I am open to other types of music as well (and according to Dilly, I break into a choreographed dance routine each time boyband music plays)

Name one hidden talent: Hidden talent ? Hmmm … it’s not much of a hidden talent but I write and play music (even though I can’t read the taugeh notes) and also, I cook pretty well. Oh yeah … I pick up languages rather easily and at one point in my life managed to learn to read ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. I also teach tennis.

What are your bad habits: I swear a lot … in multiple languages.

Describe yourself in three words: I can do it in 3 letters actually – OCD! I’m extremely fussy about cleanliness and neatness … everything needs to be in order! If they’re not … I go ballistic!

Who or what is your biggest influence?: My parents are a major influence, Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki are my in-direct influences since I only know them thru books, Dato’ Tony Fernandes cos of what he’s achieved and my old boss Dato’ Steve Day who still teaches me stuff even though we’ve had major disagreements and arguments. Also, personalities like Anthony Bourdain (who proves you can have a messed up start to your life and still make it thru hard work and persistence), Sir Alex Ferguson (for obvious reasons) and Tom Cruise (for making it OK to jump on couches with your shoes on and being a cradle snatcher !) … I’m kidding about that last one !

Most memorable radio-related experience?: The interviews are always the major highlights ! I remember interviewing Flipsyde (they were cool), the Mamma Mia! cast (we sang with ‘em), Jin (the rapper who appeared in 2 Fast 2 Furious), local celebrities like Reshmonu, Ning Baizura, Chef Wan, Ferhad, Atilia, etc. But … the most memorable radio experiences always happen when I get calls from the listeners. Nobody makes my day better than the listeners !
