Manelisi Biya

I am a dynamic broadcaster and multimedia creator with a passion for storytelling through radio, podcasts, and voice-over. I began my journey in media in 2020 at Ekasi FM, a community radio station, where I first delivered English news bulletins before expanding into hosting where I co-hosted the midday show and curating the Saturday evening Hip-Hop show. In 2022, I joined RISE FM to host the weekend afternoon show, further honing my on-air presence. That same year I launched The Oracles, a music podcast dedicated to exploring sounds, artists, and industry trends. After a brief hiatus in 2023 to focus on voice-over work (including projects for Barberton Mines and other clients), I returned to radio in April 2025, bringing my energy to Ubuthebe FM (UB FM) as the host of the Saturday afternoon show. Beyond broadcasting, I specialise in: Voice-over (commercial, corporate, and narrative work) Audio production (editing, mixing in Cubase) Video editing (Adobe Premiere Pro, Filmora) My foundation in media was strengthened by an internship with the Department of Education’s Communications Directorate, where I developed strategic messaging and content creation skills. Today, I blend technical expertise with creative flair to craft compelling audio experiences on air, online or behind the scenes.
