The Antigua and Barbuda media community is mourning the loss of one of its most enduring voices, Nathaniel “Nat Moses” Francis, who died Tuesday at his home in English Harbour.
Francis, better known by his on-air name Nat Moses, began his broadcasting career in the early 1970s and became a familiar presence on radio throughout Antigua and Barbuda and across the Caribbean. He first gained prominence at Radio Antilles, then one of the region’s most influential stations, where his smooth, commanding voice became synonymous with late-night music and entertainment.
Moses later joined Radio ZDK, where he hosted a range of programmes and established himself as one of the most recognizable radio personalities of his time. Known for his wit, charm, and meticulous presentation, he was also a regular at community events, remembered as much for his polished attire as for his distinctive delivery.
At the height of his popularity, Moses was a fixture at major carnivals and entertainment events, blending commentary, music, and humour in a way that made him a beloved figure to audiences across generations.
Beyond broadcasting, Moses ventured into politics, contesting elections under the United Progressive Party banner. He ran unsuccessfully against Sir Adolphus Freeland in 1989 and 1994, and later again in 1999 against Guy Yearwood. His political career was short-lived, ending after one term as the party’s representative before being succeeded by Dr. Jacqui Quinn.
Throughout his life, Moses remained a symbol of professionalism in local media. Colleagues remember him as a pioneer who helped shape the sound of Antiguan radio and as a gentleman whose legacy extended well beyond the airwaves. (POINTE XPRESS)
