About

Name: James Carppe
D.O.B: 9 April 1981
Age: 24
Location: Whakatane, New Zealand
Profession: Radio DJ on 1XX and Bayrock

Let’s see… born and raised in Whangarei, New Zealand… spent the first 17 years of my life there, after finishing high school I went on a student exchange to Costa Rica and had an awesome time, returned from there to go to university in Christchurch (which I dropped out of after a year), went back to Whangarei for a couple of years to work, moved to Auckland last year to do an audio engineering course, returned once again to Whangarei to work for a few months, spent 6 months in Tauranga doing a broadcasting diploma and working as a radio announcer.. now living in Whakatane working at 1XX and Bayrock as an announcer.

I listen to a wide range of music but at the same time have very specific ideas about what I like and don’t like. Working in radio often means I play music I don’t necessarily enjoy, but it also opens me up to a wider range than I would normally be privy to.

I’ve been around computers my whole life, as my father works with them, and enjoy (most of the time) them as a hobby. I’m also very into my geeky gadgets and toys.

I can generally be found online in various IRC channels on Undernet or lurking around the websites in my Links page.
