PHILIPSBURG--Radio host Mercedes “Elektra” Wyatt’s “Wake up with Elektra” turns five today, Monday, February 1.
“I really enjoy waking up in the morning and doing my show; I have a lot of passion for my show and I do it with a lot of love. I don’t have words to explain what it is like when you feel comfortable and happy doing what you love to do,” Wyatt told The Daily Herald.
She started with a bi-weekly night show in 2004. Her morning break came when she pitched the idea to Laser 101’s Head Francis Carty, she remembered. Wyatt celebrates this milestone with her annual Pink Party this weekend.
Wyatt thanked her mother for her help and support. “There are not enough thanks for her in the world. I couldn’t be who I am if I didn’t have a mother like this and that inner strength she possesses,” Wyatt said.
Wyatt, teaming up with Caribbean Liquors and Tobacco, celebrates the anniversary with the launch of Belvedere 1X vodka at the party. The party is scheduled for this Saturday, February 6. It will feature music by DJ Outkast, and the dances by Voodoo dancer, along with drag queens and Barbie boys.
Wyatt said Saturday’s event would be the first of a pink-themed year.
