“That FBi Radio is celebrating 20 years is a marvel,” said the station’s current Head of Music and Programming, Darren Lesaguis. “That the station has persevered for two decades against all odds, whilst maintaining its independence, is a feat.”
Lesaguis continued, “What better way to celebrate and honour that than with FBi Turns 20? A party nodding to the legacy of the station, and championing the power of its future.”
FBi recently announced the nominees for the 2023 SMAC – Sydney music, arts and culture – awards. The likes of Collarbones, Skeleten and Ziggy Ramo are up for Record of the Year, while Vv Pete, cherry chola and AGONY are in the running for Song of the Year.
