I am Rob Russo, aka The Ripper, I am the STATION OWNER and I have been an avid radio fan for as long as I can remember. My induction into radio came at age five, when I was a frequent caller to NYC morning shows. I always knew I wanted to work in radio using my voice. Early on, I opened and operated my own successful multi-million dollar mobile DJ business for 25 years and played, performed, DJed and Emcee'd bars and nightclubs in NYC and the Metropolitan area.

 

I went on to earn a degree in communications/broadcasting where I graduated at the top of my class. This landed me an internship with the Opie and Anthony show on XM Radio in New York City.

 

Frustrated with commercial radio and the lack of professionalism and a human pulse on Internet Radio, in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy I decided to live my dream and create my own radio station, LIVE AND LOUD RADIO where I play music that people want to listen to and to provide the VOICE Generation Xer's are looking for which became absent on commercial and terrestrial radio. We play ALL REQUEST music to which is always FREE to listen to. I believe you can truly make music come alive and when you tune in to my radio shows you and the music will become one.  Music captivates, inspires and moves people. I have assembled a team of worldwide music experts to provide YOU the LISTENER with a state of the art, fan friendly music experience.  In one year on the air I have conducted many LIVE interviews with recording artists, musicians and authors.

 

To quote Joey Ramone - "We are music without the B.S."
