Ivana Santilli July radio visits!
August 9, 2008
July was a great month and during it we were busy with Ivana Santilli taking her to a few radio stations for some visits.
First off we visited Proud FM July 9th for an interview and meet and greet with staff! The Shawn Proulx Show invited Ivana to stop by to dish some drive home dirt on her new album TO.NY, as well as music, fashion, and her love affair with Toronto and New York City. A great time was had by all! Thanks to Mark Wigmore (pictured), Shawn Proulx (pictured), Bob Willette, and Jon Terminesi for making this happen!!
Our next visit had Ivana stopping by Mix 99.9 in Toronto July 10th for a special staff only performance and an on-air interview with Maura Grierson during her lunch time Mix On Demand show! First Ivana stopped in and chatted with Maura, then we set up for the performance for Mix 99.9 and Astral Media staff where Ivana performed while accompanying herself on keyboard. It was a great show! Thanks to Wayne Webster (pictured) and Maura Grierson for making this happen!
