A brilliant catch up with a true industry legend - Mr. Jas Johal, Kudos Music DJ, Director of Kudos alongside DJ H, and one of the nicest guys in the business.
Fascinating discussion about how Kudos started, how the Covid pandemic allowed the company to re-evaluate and restructure , making it stronger as a result.
Some interesting chat too about standards in our industry - anyone that knows me also knows I don't shy away from calling out shoddy work, but Jas has some ideas about he we could move forward together.
Well worth a listen in my opinion! Please Enjoy.
