Damian Roberts

Damian Roberts (born 8 April 1982) is a Melbourne based community radio host on JOY FM 97.2.
Damian was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia by his grandmother Uma. Born with an unknown father, he managed to find a father figure in his uncle, Stuart.
Only in recent times has he managed to find the identity of his father, a Romanian militant, who rejoined the militia shortly after his conception and was killed while driving an ice-cream truck in Bucharest in 1982. At the age of eleven he started his career at the local RSL club as a lunchtime DJ.
Damian has been nominated for the "Best Innovative New Program/Segment Idea - Radio" by the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia (CBAA) in 2005 and quoted as the most "entertaining voice on drive time community radio".
Roberts appeared in an unsuccessful pilot for a late night talk show on Australia's Network Ten, before premiering his show "The Daisy Patrol" at the 2007 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. He has also appeared in television advertisements for Bunnings Warehouse and Kentucky Fried Chicken.
