Winston Potgieter an immigrant from South Africa, has lived in San Antonio since 1985. When asked what he would do if he won the lottery, the surprising answer even to himself was,"I would start a dance music radio station". Well even if he did win a million dollars it still would not be enough to start a traditional FM radio station. But with the emergence of internet radio his dream has become a reality. www.saDanceRadio.com went on the internet airwaves on February of 2011. Music has always been a big part of Winstons life, He had a mobile DJ business in the late 1990s that kept him immersed in all kinds of music. In early 2002, he along with some partners opened a nightclub, and is still in the business today. Even though these businesses helped him release his passion for music, it still was not the music he wanted to expose people to.
"I have always enjoyed positive, uplifting, motivating music, so my preference has always been dance music. I believe when we listen to positive music it improves our mood and well being. Many of us know that listening to uplifting music can help us make it through a rough day, or motivate us to keep going.”
This burning urge in helping people through music is one of the main reasons for starting www.saDanceRadio.com.
saDanceRadio.com broadcasts from San Antonio, Texas, but is heard all over the world.
An interesting note, the founder of SaDanceRadio is a software developer, the station is run using an automation software he wrote called NextKast. More information about the automation software can be found at www.nextkast.com
