**Kristan Fahd** (born 27 February 1982), known professionally as **Kris Fade**, is a Dubai-based Australian-Lebanese radio presenter, host, and musician.

He is the star of his own breakfast radio show called "The Kris Fade Show"[1][2] which airs on 104.4 [Virgin Radio Dubai](/source/Virgin_Radio_Dubai)[3] and the [KIIS Network](/source/KIIS_Network) in [Australia](/source/Australia).[4] Fade is also a cast member on the [reality television](/source/Reality_television) show, *[Dubai Bling](/source/Dubai_Bling)* (2022), the first such show based out of [Dubai](/source/Dubai).

## Career

Fade worked at a radio station in [Sydney](/source/Sydney), Australia, at the age of 25, where he was introduced to Ian Grace, the CEO of [Virgin Radio](/source/Virgin_Radio). He offered to transfer Fade to either [Kuala Lumpur](/source/Kuala_Lumpur) or Dubai, with Fade picking the latter in order to connect with his Arabic roots. He later became host of "The Kris Fade show".[5]

Fade has won awards for 'Best Radio DJ', 'Best Personality' and is on the [Ahlan!](/source/Ahlan!) list for the 'Hot 100 Legends.'[6] Fade has performed at various concerts and events including [Dubai Music Week](/source/Dubai_Music_Week) and [RedfestDXB](/source/RedfestDXB).[7] Fade appeared on reality show *[Dubai Bling](/source/Dubai_Bling)*.[8] He did not return for Season 3.[9]

In 2024, he won the "Reality Personality of the Year" for his work on *Dubai Bling* at the National [Reality TV](/source/Reality_TV) Awards.[10]

In 2024, Kris Fade shared how a personal health concern inspired him to create his wellness brand, Fade Fit, aiming to offer healthier snack alternatives for children. The story reflects his transition from a media figure to an entrepreneur in Dubai’s growing startup ecosystem.[11]

## Personal life

Fade's parents George and Gilda Fahd are both from Lebanon.[citation needed]

In 2018, Fade divorced his ex-wife Marriane Argy, with whom he has two children. Fade married his wife Brianna Ramirez Fade in March 2022. They had a public wedding that was shown on the Netflix reality show, *Dubai Bling*.[12] Fade has two daughters with his ex-wife and a son with Brianna.[13][14]

His brother, Matty Fahd, is featured on the [Australian version](/source/Gogglebox_Australia) of the British observational reality show *[Gogglebox](/source/Gogglebox)*, which airs on [Foxtel](/source/Foxtel) and [Network 10](/source/Network_10).[15]
