A popular Barbadian DJ teamed up with his fiancé to create a new and fast growing internet radio station that is quickly catching the ears of the international community.
Sandra Corbin, co-owner/operator of POWER246, told Caribbean Magazine Plus that since partnering up with her fiancé, Pedro Edwards aka “DJ Code Red,” on this internet radio venture she has been astounded at the level of growth in the last few months.

A COVID-19 project, with its genesis dating back to March, 2020, Ms Corbin said: “The month that COVID hit Pedro and I sat down and we thought that since we’re usually out with him usually doing gigs and me supporting him doing my emceeing while I’m doing my public relations, and with everything is going to shut down we thought what can we do?
She added: “So I had little money that I could have invested, I thought I’d set up a couple of other businesses and one of them was this internet station idea.
“We got that up and running fairly quickly. But what we did was we tested it for three months. And we had DJs from all over the world, if you look at the Facebook page, you’ll see where they’re all from.”
POWER246’s international flare is just part of its charm. The other part is that it has a secret DJ in the house named DJ AI, taking your radio experience into the new era. “. I always had the thought that when COVID’s over, everyone’s going to go back to the events and you’re not really going to have time to be playing live and streaming.
So, we got something called DJ AI and DJ AI is exactly that, he’s a robot. He’s an AI. So AI still plays and if you click it he’s there. But DJ AI now can be played Friday, Saturdays and Sundays and its streamed music. So if you want to create your own party, you just click it and its playing.”
DJ AI can be used for all occasions and is available whenever listeners are ready and wherever the listeners are.
Ms Corbin also said: “We’ve had 207,000 people look at our website and it was the live stream that they clicked on. I was thinking that if it’s just DJ AI playing, they’re going to get bored. But no, we’ve retained the customers and they’ve shared it now to 2.1m people.”
