Happy Birthday Sex to 9

This weekend we’re celebrating the show’s anniversary. It feels like it was only yesterday but it really was 6 years ago that Sex to 9 with Maria was born and heard on the airwaves for the first time.

And what a ride it has been! I have been privileged to meet some of the best and brightest musicians and work with some of the most talented people in the industry. To all of them my most sincere gratitude.

Moreover, I’ve been honoured and blessed with the most supportive and dedicated audience. Without you, the listeners, the show would simply not exist. You’ve created the Sex to 9 family and I’m forever grateful for your knowledge, your tireless enthusiasm and your friendship. Thank you guys, these 6 years are as much yours as mine!

Finally, we wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for my beloved Yoda. Without his knowledge, his unconditional support and his endless encouragement (including some well needed ‘kick up the ass’), the show would have not returned to the airwaves after its ‘imposed’ sabbatical. What a lucky lucky woman I am!

So here’s to many more years of wonderful Fridays and great music!

See you all on the airwaves!
