 With his distinctively "dome" look, charismatic personality and easy-going demeanour, popular radio DJ and TV presenter Mark Pilgrim has quickly become a favourite personality in South Africa 's entertainment circles. Perhaps best known as the host of three "Big Brother" reality TV shows, Mark has also appeared in numerous commercials, hosted the lifestyle show New Moves (on e-TV) and currently presents the weekly Retail Therapy segment on M-Net, previewing the latest music releases, as well as Face 2 Face on SABC2, the latest reality make-over show.
His true passion though is radio, and the SA public are very familiar with Mark's voice as radio deejay. After obtaining his B.com and working in market research for 10 years, he decided to follow his heart and joined 5FM back in 1995. After 8 years (the last 5 of which was hosting the Weekend Breakfast Show), they parted ways and he now freelances for Johannesburg 's 94.7 Highveld Stereo. In addition, he is a regular DJ at clubs around the country, and also co-owner of Nitefever, one of Johannesburg 's top nightclubs. He has also released 3 CD compilations in the last few years.
As a voice artist, Mark also spends a lot of his working day in post production studios, narrating numerous radio and TV commercials. |
