Get to know RISE fm's TheBigZill Onair and what he he is about.

For the record: Teach people how you spell your name “Thebigzill or ..?

My name gives a lot of people a challenge when it comes to spelling, but I don’t really mind being the teacher.
My name is Thebigzill Onair – pronounced as: The Big Zill On Air, but strictly written as Thebigzill Onair – also referred to as TheBigOne or The Main Ninja by those who love what I do.

Any difference between PBS and commercial radio that you would say is noticeable?

Both PBS and commercial radio are professional institutions. I have benefited a lot of discipline and skills from PBS which now comes in very handy in my commercial experience.

The difference would be that every house has its own set of rules
Where is home, Elukwatini/ Secunda or KZN?
Elukwatini; eNhlazatshe is where I was born and bred.

Strategically, where do you see the Thebigzill brand going?
I have achieved my dream of being on radio professionally, the next move is to position my personal brand for endorsements -– this is where my mind is right now! Come 2015 we’ll be ready for real deals.

We see you have reached 10 000 followers on Facebook, do you find pressure now to post something daily?
I’m really grateful for the growth I’m seeing on social media. There really is no pressure to do more posts, but a desire and intention to take it to the bank.

To do this I’m launching my website www.thebigzill.com on December 16, which will be followed by awesome competitions.
Biking or fast cars?
I like them both.
A lot of Rise FM listeners know Zill, but who really is Thebigzill?
Thebigzill is a talented and vibrant radio presenter, an exceptional voice-over artist having done radio ads for some of SA’s big brands, a high- energy master of ceremony (for government, corporate and social events), an inspired youth motivational speaker and a deep house-music junkie.

Moreover, Thebigzill is passionate about youth development and community building; he’s always seeking “exciting and meaningful projects” to build and/or participate in.
I’m inspired by people who believe they can move mountains, I’m challenged by those who do – faith is the ultimate currency.”
