Passport Approved is creation of British-born / Los Angeles-based DJ Sat Bisla, who was previously a DJ at KCRW in Los Angeles. Previously Bisla also worked at a number of other music-intensive radio stations in Central California, including KKDJ "The Edge" Fresno, where he hosted/programmed a weekly import show and was also the station’s Music Director. Over the years Bisla has been credited with playing a part in helping artists (pre-label signing) such as Coldplay, Wolfmother, Keane, Dido, Faithless, Lily Allen, Ting Tings, Editors, Teddybears, Missy Higgins and many others who have gone on to have global success.
