Majic 100 Bios
Kevin Nelson
kevin.nelson@majic100.fm
Kevin comes from a very humble childhood. His parents were in the iron & steel business. His mother ironed, and his father stole.
The family moved a lot when he was young. For example, when he was 7, his parents moved to Ohio. When he was 9, he finally found them.
Kevin grew up in some tough neighborhoods. You know, the kind of places where the men hold up their socks with thumb tacks, and kids with both ears are considered sissies. His first apartment in Toronto was so small, even the mice were hunchback. Things are much better today for Kevin. Living in the Glebe with a modest staff of 14, including his houseboy who can "iron a Kimono like nobody's business". Says Kevin, speaking of the parliament buildings "I love them, especially the one in the middle with the pointy thing on top". Well done Kevin, well done.

Bill Parker was born and raised in Hanna, Alberta, a town famous for being the home of Lanny McDonald and Nickleback. Bill is a 49 year-old father of 2 genius children but that’s just daddy talking. It’s been a long and winding road through radio, starting 27 years ago in Grande Prairie, Alberta. There were stops in Brantford, ON, Brandon, MB, Regina, SK, and Calgary, AB, before he found Ottawa and fell in love with the city. Bill’s been on radio in Ottawa for 18 years and is happy to share your mornings on Majic 100.

melanie.adams@majic100.fm
Melanie came to Ottawa after working in newsrooms in Kingston, Peterborough and Belleville. An avid Leafs fan, she promises to cheer wholeheartedly for the Sens any time the Leafs aren't in the playoffs (which seems to be happening an awful lot.)
When she's not working at Majic, Melanie likes spending her time with her wiener-dog Jagger, reading Stephen King books, and watching her favourite TV shows: House, Heroes, and Spongebob Squarepants.
steve.boyton@majic100.fm
Steve's radio career started in Kapuskasing, Northern Ontario, and has taken him to Thunder Bay, Toronto, Montreal, and Ottawa. He took a detour from the business in 2001 to attend a Web Design course at Algonquin College. He also managed at CD Warehouse for several years, before being enticed back into radio.
Steve joined Majic 100 in September of 2005 and primarily works behind the scenes, but you can catch him on the air on Friday evening and every weekend from 2 – 6 PM on Saturday and Sunday. You might also find him squinting through the viewfinder of his DSLR. Steve is self-confessed camera nerd!

You can listen to Tina on Majic regularly from 9am-2pm every Saturday and Sunday.
"Hi, I'm Tina Sapp, the American refugee! Three years ago I loaded up my pick-up, sat my dog on the front seat and moved to Ottawa. Actually, my husband loaded the U-Haul and he did all the driving but that's not nearly as interesting a story, is it?
Moving long distances is nothing new for me. Growing up, I was an Air Force brat moving every 2-3 years between the U.S.A., Korea and Japan.
I was on the air in Kansas City, Missouri for 8 years. I got a tattoo, flew a plane and even got married on the radio. I love my job!"
