Marc Belke, is a on-air personality and a musician. He is a graduate of The British Columbia Institute of Technology’s’ Broadcast and Media Communications Program. Marc is working for The Peak - a radio station in Smithers, B.C.
A veteran musician, Marc has played thousands of shows nationally and internationally with his former band Snfu before changing gears and diving into the world of communications.
Being at The Peak has allowed him to work in every aspect of the programming, including hosting the morning show and doing colour commentary for live broadcasts of the Central Interior Hockey League. He does voice overs and produce features and commercials. Marc considers this a great place to be. It allows him to be a part of the Radio Industry while enjoying the unique and vibrant local community in the Bulkley Valley – one of B.C.’s hidden gems.
As a musician, Marc has written and performed on 13 albums and had a hand in creating what is now the alternative music scene in Western Canada. Some highlights of his musical career include, extensive touring with Bad Religion and touring with future Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, Green Day. Working relentlessly as a touring musician allowed Marc to meet and play with some of his musical heroes like The Clash, The Dead Kennedy’s, Fear and Bad Brains to name a few.
He’s proud of what he accomplished. He remembers starting out as a kid playing air guitar to Kiss records in his parents living room dreaming about writing and recording original music and then performing for it for people all over the world. Realizing that dream was satisfying. Especially doing it as an independent artist, “We didn’t make all the right decisions,” says Belke, “but they were our decisions.”
Marc looks forward to continuing the journey, communicating with his unique perspective and life experience to audiences through words and music.
