Tracey's Profile

Name & Age? Tracey Donaldson  36....

Where did you grow up? Hamilton.

Status:  Married.    We eloped to Caesers Palace in Las Vegas.

How did you get into radio?  I was working in a record shop when a man came in one day, and told me he was starting a radio station called The Rock.  We got talking....by the end of the week I was working for him.

Favourite rockstars you've met: A 3-way tie between Chad Kroeger, Jimmy Page & Tommy Lee. 

Your typical day? Starts at 4:30AM.  I'm also the newsreader for the Live-Sport Breakfast Show.

Jobs You've Had:  TRACS Records Hamilton / Virgin Megastore London / Polygram Records London / Universal Records London / Mushroom Records London / TNT FM London / KIIS FM USA / TV3 Motorsport Presenter / And of course The Rock.

What do you do in your spare time?:   Im surrounded by rock and sports and boys all day.  Away from work I love to shop, watch the E Channel, drink champagne, paint my nails, read Vogue magazine....chick stuff...

When listeners meet you - they're surprised that:  I'm not wearing a Metallica shirt and that I dont have a mullet and tonnes of tattoos.   There are definate pre-conceptions of what rock-chicks look like.

Ten Years ago I was:  Living in London, doing radio promotions for Universal Records, looking after U2's music...awesome!

In Ten years time I hope to:  Be still working in music....LOVE it!

If money were no object:  I'd follow the Formula One all over the world - for atleast a year.  I dream of going to every single circuit.   Specially now Schumacher is back...

Best gig you ever went to:  Hole (Courtney Love) Brixton Acadamy London 1999

What do you listen to in your car:  I flick around other radio stations and see what everyone else is up to...

Career highlights? Hosting the NZ leg of the INXS Rockstar Auditions. And more recently interviewing Brian Johson of ACDC.   What an awesome dude.
