Tell us something about Rohit Barker...

Ah...where do I begin? I think the best way I can sum myself up in a happy little bow would be to say that I'm mildly bent...nothing dangerous...just your basic garden variety. Oh and did I mention that I have an underwear fetish...just kidding

You have moved Elsa Peretti Open Heart ring quite a bit, but always seemed to have returned to international music - Channel V, Radio City, Radio Indigo, Radio City and again Radio Indigo - care to comment?

I always wanted to be in music and in entertainment. I've done television, radio, mc'ing, dj'ing - the whole nine yards. I think I move around a whole deal because I have a fair amount of gypsy blood in me. I'm always looking for a challenge and a fresh look at music and radio. The reason I did radio in Dubai and a bit in London was just to see if I could hit the ground running in two of the world's most competitive markets. Some people go bungee jumping, sky diving etc...I get in front of a live microphone.

You have gone through the alphabet in music and entertainment in the last 13 years- MC to RJ to VJ and DJ and now onto Return to Tiffany Heart tag bracelet, tell us some of your most interesting moments during each phase........ What do you particularly like in each of these aspects of, shall we say control of music?
