Triple J have announced Kristy Lee Peters, aka KLP, as the new host of triple j’s House Party.
Kristy’s live moniker, KLP, came to prominence in 2013 when she uploaded her debut song to triple j Unearthed, impressing them so much she won the Unearthed Field Day competition in January earlier this year. Since then the Sydney DJ, producer and vocalist has worked with an impressive list of producers, including What So Not (Flume and Emoh Instead) and DCUP.
Last week Kristy also launched the retro flavoured video for her current single 'Decide'. The track has been getting support from triple j, BBC Radio 6 and was recently featured in an international Adidas campaign.
No stranger to the club scene, Kristy has also spent the last four years DJ-ing around the country, honing skills which will now culminate in one hell of a party, every Saturday night.
"As a big lover of all musical genres, triple j was always my go-to radio station," she says. "To now not only be a part of the triple j team, but to be able to put together mixes, blending many musical styles into one big party to share with the country, is going to be ridiculously fun."
KLP takes over from Nina Las Vegas as host of triple j’s House Party from 6 – 9pm on Sat 5 April.
