British Columbia’s Radio host Rohit Joseph returns to Emcee Vic West 2026! 🌟

Rohit Joseph is the host of Vibin’ – British Columbia’s province-wide music program airing every Saturday afternoon at 4:00 p.m.

Rohit’s passion for journalism began at the University of British Columbia, where he hosted a music show and two other programs that sparked his interest to pursue a career in broadcast journalism. In addition to playing in a Vancouver-based band for several years, his love for music was heavily influenced by his family’s musical interests and his own musical experiences – from violin to guitar to beatboxing.

He has won multiple journalism awards including a RTDNA in Best Podcast for CBC British Columbia’s “Beaches and Mountains” and a Jack Webster award for CBC Victoria’s Healthcare coverage, “A Crisis in Care: The Family Doctor Shortage in Greater Victoria”.

Through moving from India, Dubai to Vancouver and travelling across Europe and Asia, Rohit has the utmost appreciation for several cultures, music and local communities and he is incredibly excited about bringing to air his eclectic music taste and stories from local musicians.

We are so excited to welcome him and you to Vic West Fest 2026! Thank you for supporting Vic West Fest as our English Radio Sponsor!
