Big Rossi Priti Malik Priti was born and raised in NYC to Indian-born parents. Growing up was a balanced mix of Bollywood films and the Backstreet Boys. She originally wanted to be a lawyer, but one fine day when she was in high school, Priti decided to pay a visit to the MTV studios to watch a taping of Total Request Live. While watching VJ Hilarie Burton do a few links, she realised that this was definitely more her vibe! So she decided to go with Broadcast Journalism and never looked back. Priti’s been working in radio & TV since she was 17. Whether it was a promotions intern for a radio station, working on stories for Diane Sawyer at ABC or running her own morning show at her college radio station, Priti has always kept herself in the industry. After graduating, Priti came across the Arabian Radio Network here in Dubai and decided to give it a shot. So in 2008, she moved to Dubai to work as a news presenter for Virgin Radio. Now, she’s the co-host on The Kris Fade Show. We consider doing the news to playing Priti on the Floor to be an upgrade! If I wasn’t workin’ at Virgin Radio Dubai I’d be...

Big Rossi was born into music. No, seriously, his mum had David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance” as birthing music. Rossi’s been behind the decks entertaining crowds since the tender age of 18, when he was packed off and sent to work in Corfu by his mother, with a plastic bag of CDs and a dream. Since that day in August 2000, he has spun for TV celebrities, supported a national radio station’s tour of the universities in the UK, performed at the country’s biggest dance music festivals and has entertained in some of the UK’s biggest nightclubs. Aside from the DJ gig, he is the producer of “The Kris Fade Show”. Rossi is in charge of ensuring that the show runs smoothly and to make sure that Kris Fade receives a compliment every hour. Most of the time Rossi’s the brunt of the team’s jokes because he says the silliest things. Rossi has had every type of job you can think of, including “dressing up as the Worlds Biggest Elf” to promoting for a radio station. If I wasn’t workin’ at Virgin Radio Dubai I’d be...
