Video Jockeys
Vjs were first seen on television in the early 30s when MTV channel was broadcast on TV. As MTV caught on, and the audience for music videos expanded, many other music video channels started broadcasting. Besides rock music, there were charnels for people who were interested in country music, light rock, and R&B, and all of these charnels needed VJs. By the 1990s, international music video channels like Channel V in Asia and VIVA in Europe had started. The vis for the new international stations had to be chosen carefully. One successful international VJ in Asia is Asha Gill. She is from Malaysia, but her parents and grandparents are from India, France and England. She speaks three languages and has fans across Asia, from Japan to the United Arab Emirates.
Another VI who has made a big hit in Asia is Lili. She is actually a computer-animated VJ on MTV Asia: An actress also talks for Lili, and her shows can be seen in five languages.
