From Weather & Traffic updates, Zaina worked in range of shows, and fronted the very first show with a solo female host in Lebanon.
Fast forward to June 6, 2017, Zaina was joined by now co-host Boudy Boustany. Boudy is the lead vocalist in the band The JLP Show, which was part of the Virgin Radio Live team. After coming in for a meeting at the Virgin Radio offices, his voice soon led him to be part of the team. He started with a few links to introduce tracks on the weekends and then joined Zaina two days a week to later become the cohost on The Drive with Zaina, bringing with him his guitar for a few musical sessions.
