SHWMAE! I AM GARETH REES, THE OWNER AND FOUNDER OF HEARD IT HERE FIRST. I AM CURRENTLY THE BROADCAST TECHNICIAN AT RADIO PLATFFORM WHICH IS AN AWARD WINNING COMMUNITY RADIO STATION BASED IN THE WALES MILLENNIUM CENTRE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE AND CURATED BY YOUNG PEOPLE. I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED MUSIC AND GIGS, RADIO IS MY HOBBY AND LIFE. I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT SUPPORTING INDEPENDENT AND UPCOMING BANDS WHO USUALLY WOULD NOT GET RADIO PLAY. I FRIST STARTED THIS JOURNEY OVER A YEAR AGO IN EARLY 2024 WITH MY RADIO SHOW WHICH IS LIVE EVERY SATURDAY AND I SUPPORT INDEPENDENT BANDS AND ARTISTS BY SHOWCASING THEIR MUSIC TO HELP THEM GAIN NEW FANS, MY AIM IS TO INTRODUCE EVERYONE TO NEW MUSIC THAT THEY HAVE NOT HEAD BEFORE. AFTER 14 MONTHS OF THIS SHOW I HAVE DECIDED TO START A MUSIC BLOG DEDICATED TO THE SAME THING WHILE ALSO OFFERING PROMOTION AND MANAGEMENT. I AM EXCITED TO START THIS JOURNEY AND BUILD A COMMUNITY.
