Chrome Star Radio has a rich history in it's own right as platform and those that have worked on it. It's roots can be traced back to the late 1980's when a group of North London friends began DJing and MCing together at a selected house. Influenced by the elder Caribbean generations the group practiced at one of their homes and developed the skills before holding a few parties where they displayed their skills. Before long they were then invited to perform at other events around London. The group went through various names and bulit slowly as they made their way up the the northen London events scene.
Moving into the early 90's through group became popular in North London, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire. As the group joined Southgate College they became popular with many people from South , East and West London. They quickly developed a bond with fellow North Londoners and many from the East End. The group expanded and began to play outside of London on a regular basis. Once established the Dj's and MC's created their own pirate station and also played on others. North and East London became a hotbed for pirate stations influenced by previous generations. South London then had a flow of grime artists starting to devlop around the same time. For the next decade the group stayed strong and stuck to what they did best with the station developing and the group moving into Event Promotion groups Dope Events and Flirting Promotions. As time moved on and everyone began to go their own ways a few memebers kept the vibe alive with a station online and Garrio leading on events and promotion under the Chrome Star Banner.
