Veena V started her radio career at the age of 15. She was picked to be one of the last 22 contestants out of thousands in the London’s 95.8 Capital FM’s radio star contest, where the winner was given the opportunity to present their own show on the station to over a million listeners. Unfortunately, she didn’t win this competition but it made her even more determined to break into the radio industry.

At 16, Veena V started a work experience placement at Oxford’s 107.9FM. The tea making paid off, as Veena was offered to present the 1-6am slot. Her talents were quickly recognised and her dreams came true when she was given her very own show 6 days a week.

At 17, she was featured in a national book called ‘Money Money Money’ which highlighted the fact that Veena was still at college studying for A Level Law, English language & Literature and Business Studies whilst presenting on local radio and having a part time job; a very busy schedule for a teenager.
