Braddah Mel


Born in Texas and raised in Kekaha on Kauai’s west-side, I grew up living a simple, down-to-earth island life and graduated from Waimea High School. For nearly 35 years, I’ve worked in the hospitality industry, where I developed a deep appreciation for connecting with people and creating memorable experiences.

My love for music and dancing started early. I was part of Kauai’s early hip hop and breakdancing scene, and that passion for movement and rhythm never left me. Whether at a party or a club, I’ve always found joy on the dance floor.

In 2017, I turned that passion into a career as a professional wedding and events DJ. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of emceeing and spinning at countless celebrations across Kaua‘i—from weddings and graduations to parties of every kind. My goal is always the same: to bring energy, aloha, and good vibes to every crowd and keep the dance floor moving.

In January 2026, while DJing a holiday event, a Pacific Media Group (FM97) staff member approached me and asked, “Have you ever thought about becoming a radio personality?” I smiled and said, “I actually did when I first started my business.” That moment opened the door to a new chapter – and today, that dream is real.

Now you can catch me on FM97 (96.9FM), bringing my island-style personality, swag, and aloha spirit to the airwaves. My mission is simple: to share good music, good energy, and plenty of local-style fun with the people of Kaua‘i and beyond.
