Kaylee Golding
The compere for the Greater Birmingham Young Professional of the Year Awards 2023 has been announced.
Kaylee Golding is a DJ and an award-winning presenter, who can currently be heard on BBC 1XTRA weekdays from 1-4pm.
She was previously on KISS Fresh every weekend and weekdays on HITs Radio Pride.
In 2021 she won E4’s talent search and is currently part of the E4 Academy.
Kaylee also has a weekly show every Monday at 1pm – 3 pm on Reprezent Radio and a bi-weekly show on No Signal Radio from 3pm.
She is originally from Birmingham but is now living in East London. Hence why she follows the slogan “Your favourite Gyal From Brum”. As part of the LGBTQ+ community, she felt it was important to represent that side of her so in 2020 she launched her podcast On Your Gaydar. Representing who you are is at the heart of all of Kaylee’s work.
Throughout her career, she has interviewed a huge number of artists including Aitch, Pia Mia, Sean Paul, Pa Saileu, Krept & Konan, Lady Leshur, just to name a few. In addition to this Kaylee has won multiple awards for her presenting, including Best Specialist 2018 & 2019, and best interview Gold and Silver 2019 at the Student Radio awards. She has also been nominated for Best Presenter at the UK Entertainment Awards 2021.
As a DJ, Kaylee has done guest mixes on a vast variety of stations including Capital XTRA, BBC 1XTRA and more. She has also played at multiple festivals including Birmingham Pride.
Sophie Poduval-Morrell, Manager of Future Faces, said: “We are so excited that Kaylee is going to be our host for the awards. Kaylee is a true Brummie and has a great passion for wanting to influence and inspire young people and celebrate where they come from. She has supported the city in so many ways, the Commonwealth Games legacy being one of them. We can’t wait to see the energy she will bring to the awards.”
