Grommet aka Ali grew up in Massachusetts and transplanted to Arizona in 2015, finding a home in the experimental architecture and welcoming community of Arcosanti. Grommet never thought they would be working in a bronze foundry, living in the desert, or hosting a radio show (and yet, here we are). They’ve got no idea what they’re doing, but they’re definitely doing their best.
Idlis has been in and around radio his entire life. Starting as a "Legal ID" on WBRU in Providence, RI when he was 7, then stops at college and commercial radio stations in Boston and a Non-Comm in Minneapolis. Radio and music is ingrained in his soul. After spending 20 years promoting records for Mercury Records, he settled on Jupiter (Florida!) to continue his passion for bringing happiness and good vibes to the world thru music. He hasn't been to a Burn but we're working on him.
