Majic 100 Bios
Kevin Nelson
mornings@majic100.fm
Kevin comes from a very humble childhood. His parents were in the iron & steel business. His mother ironed, and his father stole.
The family moved a lot when he was young. For example, when he was 7, his parents moved to Ohio. When he was 9, he finally found them.
Kevin grew up in some tough neighborhoods. You know, the kind of places where the men hold up there socks with thumb tacks, and kids with both ears are considered sissies. His first apartment in Toronto was so small, even the mice were hunchback. Things are much better today for Kevin. Living in the Glebe with a modest staff of 14, including his houseboy who can "iron a Kimono like nobody's business". Says Kevin, speaking of the parliament buildings "I love them, especially the one in the middle with the pointy thing on top". Well done Kevin, well done.

Melanie came to Ottawa after working in newsrooms in Kingston, Peterborough and Belleville. An avid Leafs fan, she promises to cheer wholeheartedly for the Sens any time the Leafs aren't in the playoffs (which seems to be happening an awful lot.)
When she's not working at Majic, Melanie likes spending her time with her wiener-dog Jagger, reading Stephen King books, and watching her favourite TV shows: House, Heroes, and Spongebob Squarepants.
