The Power of Pirate Radio Stations

Pirate radios stations have been around since the 1930’s - they’re unlicensed (aka illegal) radio stations. It’s called “pirating” because it involves using someone else’s transmitter to broadcast your content.

Kym Mazelle biography

Raised in Gary, Indiana, Kym Mazelle grew up around the corner from one of pop music's reigning dynasties, the Jacksons.

Her mother would find her singing along with recordings by Aretha Franklin.

Intially, Kym studied opera at
