ABOUT IAN |
|||||||
| First
and foremost, Ian Sterling loves his family.
Like the mafia, Ian considers his “family” not just his blood
relatives, but his friends who he calls his “brothers” and
“sisters”. This
especially has become the single most important thing in his life since
being diagnosed with cancer in 2006.
Ian is currently in remission and is thankful
everyday to his “Health Care Family”. Ian Sterling is a spiritual person who relates closest with the Catholic Religion.
He is a very positive individual who believes that something
good comes out of every bad situation, even death! Ian’s
philosophy on life: “We
are all dying from the day that we are born.
Only one thing is for sure;
That our lives will come to an end.
It is what you DO with the time that you are given that
matters. Luck, and help
from others can really be an
influence, but it’s what you DO for the most part that affects
who you are, and in what direction you are going.” Ian
Sterling is a proud Canadian, who lives in what he considers to be, one of the
greatest cities in the world, London, Ontario.
He shares a lot of views on his local community, province and
country, and he’s garnered a lot of his opinions by having a diverse
family (kin!). For example: |

| All of
the above mentioned members of Ian’s family are highly intelligent
people, and as you can imagine, have varying differences of opinion.
They all have influenced Ian tremendously. Ian
Sterling is a graduate of the Radio Broadcasting program at Fanshawe
College, and is currently on disability from his job as a midday n
on-air Personality and Music Director for CISN (Kissin’) FM radio in
Edmonton, Alberta, part of Corus Entertainment. It is a country

time at both of these radio stations, they both were dominant in the

audience for both stations, and #1 overall, in a major market with more than 18 radio
stations competing for share. Ian

And by sister, Ian doesn't mean...
Ian
Sterling’s career goals have been known to change, but currently he
has set the following: “To produce and host a nationally syndicated late night format television show devoted to truly celebrating all things Canadian (without reservations!), publish a best-selling book in Canada, create "The People's Party of Canada" political party that is "Socially liberal and fiscally conservative" and then run for Prime Minister!” He figures that he will get ambitious and start dreaming big later. Along the way, Ian plans on SPREADING LOVE TO HIS “FAMILY”! |

he's a fan of passionate musicians and songs that give him goosebumps. Here is a recent addition to Ian's list of favourite Musicians. Comment from Ian: They live in Ireland but are Mexican. They don't sing. They play classical guitars and are an incredibly talented pair. Gabriela plays flamenco style and thrashes on her guitar, while Rodrigo is an inspiring picker and he's influenced by HEAVY METAL! Here is a clip of when they were on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Their album entered the charts at number 1 in Ireland. It was a first for an instrumental album. |
