Kris Fade: The Man Who Owns the Airwaves
Kris Fade (born Kristan Fahd) is the Australian-Lebanese radio phenomenon who has taken the Middle East by storm. As host of The Kris Fade Show on Virgin Radio Dubai, the region's biggest breakfast show, he reaches over one million listeners daily, with broadcasts extending across Australia. His meteoric rise has since gone global, fuelled by his starring role on Netflix's hit reality series Dubai Bling.
With over one million social media followers, Kris is one of the most recognised faces and voices in the UAE, a status fittingly cemented by his very own wax figure at Madame Tussauds Dubai. He has hosted landmark events across the region, including the Pope's historic first visit, and has graced red carpets at the Grammy Awards, interviewing some of the industry's biggest names. His larger-than-life persona and unparalleled live entertainment instincts have made him one of the most coveted personalities in the business.
An entrepreneur at heart, Kris is the founder of Fade Fit, a health-focused snack company, and KSKonnect. He holds stakes in Enhance Fitness, The Code, and Team365, and most recently co-founded Pepperoni Comedy Club, a restaurant concept that has already become a runaway success.
