New York, NY…. Garfield ‘Chin’ Bourne, founder of Sound Chat Radio, WVIP 93.5 FM (No longer in business) was given a commendation for their efforts in giving back to the community that shares his values. Chin, the founder and one half of the Irish & Chin duo have been around for many years and counting. The Sound Chat Radio Team have been around for 13-years.

“I have worked very hard from the beginning,” said Chin.

Chin, no stranger to the New York Tri State arena came a long way to prove himself to the New York base in the Caribbean Community, not only with a Radio platform but with big event clashes and large concerts. Thus, it was not a surprise that the Sound Chat Team and Chin was bestowed upon with such high reference given their pragmatic esteem on New York’s airwaves and beyond…online platform and community involvements, which is a grave part of their platform.

“Our industry colleagues only respected us for sound clashes and large events, not for radio. We had to fight for it. We eventually created a powerhouse team of talented personalities and sound system selectors, as reflected today on Sound Chat Radio,” said Chin.

“Sound Chat Radio has built an undeniable presence with food drives, giveaways and addressing community issues. These factors, in part, captured the attention of Mayor Adam’s Office,” according to the Station.
