After 26 years in Singapore radio and media, Kiss92 DJ Maddy Barber, co-host of the station’s breakfast show ‘Maddy, Andre & Divian In The Morning’, will be presenting her last show on 16 July.
The industry veteran, who commands a huge fan following with her exuberant personality and candid attitude, announced today that she will be leaving radio to focus on growing her award-winning bespoke jewellery brand, MADLY.
Barber said: “Not many DJs can say that they’ve done the absolute best shows they were born to do, and got to do it with partners whom they have once-in-a-lifetime chemistry and connection with – I’ve done that, twice over! So, what’s next? Radio will always be my first love, but now is the time for me to put my heart and soul into growing MADLY. My most transformative years were spent here at SPH Radio and it will forever have a special place in my heart.”
Sim Hong Huat, General Manager, SPH Radio, said: “It has been an amazing decade with Maddy and we’re definitely sad to see her leave. But more so, we’re happy that she is doing this for herself and her family, especially in these unprecedented times where emotional and mental wellbeing are so important.”
