Unscripted, creative, spontaneous and real is the best way to describe the shows, DJs and hosts of the Playvybz Family.
As well as our core function as a radio station, we also offer training (mainly to young people) in DJ-ing and Radio Production through the Playvybz Academy. An Academy mentee Alexander Rose of the STOP anti-gun and knife crime campaign was recently featured in the Sunday Times magazine (see attachment). The Playvybz Academy has also delivered a course to Year 9 students from Winchmore school in Enfield, as well as supported events and provided training for south London-based organisations Young People Matter and GUp Drama School (lead by actress and Radio One award recipient Lorna Gayle AKA Lorna G).
