KARLON GABRIEL LETT
NEWS CASTER
Broadcast journalist, Announcer, Voice Talent….
Karlon Gabriel Lett never thought that he would be living out one of his passions. Karlon, the last of three boys is a former student of Diego Martin Government Secondary.
His journey towards living out his passion began with his training with Media Pioneer, Dave Elcock (one person that he names as his mentor) and continued with Madonna Sampson–Doyle of MASComm Limited. In between his training and before the introduction of the first gospel FM station in Trinidad and Tobago, he provided his voice for seminar tapes, small commercials, etc, still knocking on the doors of radio stations to no avail.
However, a chance encounter with the birth of 98.1FM and the encouragement of his grandmother (his number 1 fan), he decided to give it another chance; and destiny took its course.
Today, Karlon is one of the familiar voices on the station, being the morning news presenter, announcer (fill-in) and co-host of the children’s programme on Saturdays. (Karlon is the voice of five loveable characters on the programme “Kingdom Kids” (BB Wolf, Abdul, Pirate, Surfer Dude and Granny plus a host of others to which he says might just happen to pop up in his head).
However, he is humbled by the fact that although he is living out his dreams, Karlon is also giving back to the listenership of the station.
The Journey has definitely begun for this young man….
