Every week we feature a new young DJ and every week we find more kids with hidden talents. This week 11-year-old Reilly kickboxes his way onto the airwaves!
Tune in to RTÉjr Radio this Saturday (and every Saturday) at 4pm & listen back any time here!
Although this is his first DJ slot, Reilly is always busy with something like gaming or playing sports with his friends. He loves attending Global Kickboxing in Rathangan with his cool teacher Fran.
And helping him bring the drama on air and in the ring is a growing love of performance, helped by his teacher Owen with the Vicky Barry Performing Arts. As you'll hear in the show, Reilly loves music of every genre, and has done from a very young age.
His late Grandfather Johnny Preston was a musician and songwriter for over 50 years. Reilly misses him greatly but takes inspiration from his Grandad still.
Like most kids he has interests outside of sports and Reilly loves to fix and make things - planes, robots and whatever he outs his mind to make.
Reilly would love to give shouts-outs...
To his best friend Finn, Rian and Alex and to his Mammy, Daddy and sister Cindy. And not to forget, Nanny Liz! Aunts wendy, Tina, Orla and Uncle John. Cousins, Lavina, Claudia, Leo and Ordhan.
Heading way down south, he says hello to all the relatives in New Zealand. And dia dhuit toeveryone in Gaelscoil Éadan Doire (Edenderry) and to everyone else tuning in from Rathangan!
Phew, Reilly is single handedly expanding our audience across the globe with all these hellos!
