The Winner

Singing Henry Evans joined Kerrang! Radio straight from the builder’s yard where he worked as a labourer. His determination, raw talent, immense creativity and flexibility saw him transcend the ranks of tea-maker, technical operator and assistant producer to become one of the most loved presenters and characters on Kerrang! Radio.

The judging panel shortlisted Singing Henri for his original and novel approach to his work labelling him a ‘pocket-sized treat’ in the morning. The judges went on to comment that Henry’s passion and invention made him one of the stand-out entries, guaranteed to make you laugh!

He currently sings his way through the half hourly reports on Kate Lawler and OJ Borg’s Drivetime show each day and co-presents The Rock and Roll Years, a daily programme with the former drummer from The Stereophonics.

ABOUT THE AWARD

The Sony DAB ‘Rising Star’ Award was launched in 2008 to reward the up and coming radio stars of the future. Open to those who have been broadcasting on radio for no longer than 18 months; this year’s winner will be announced on Monday May 11 2009 at the Sony Radio Academy Awards ceremony. As the only people’s choice award, this category offers listeners the opportunity to have their say and reward their favourite new DJs.

Eligible broadcasters submitted their entries which were then reviewed by a respected panel of judges, made up of radio stalwarts and media experts, who drew up a shortlist of nominees. The winner is chosen by the listeners as they vote online to have their say. Last year’s winner was the controversially loveable George Lamb and this year’s finalists again include a selection of exciting newcomers.
