Guy founded radio:on – a network of DJ’s & music lovers who wanted to get good music on the radio. The core team included Dennis Oliver, Sonsu Shin & Hitoshi Nozu.

Set up streetside studio at Vision Network/Las Chicas, Aoyama.

radio:on fills a niche market in Tokyo providing programs for radio stations, DJ’s for events, narrators for commercial work & audio services including DJ training, voice workshops & voice narration demo recording.

radio:on DJ’s believe radio should be out in public places (not behind closed studio doors) – so have set up DJ booths at many events including Fuji Rock Festival & Design Festa.
