We were finallyable to bring this local boy back home as the lead on 102.7 Da Bomb’s new morning show! Having traveled and worked in numerous markets in the “mainland,” Keola states “I always have and will be true to where I come from…Hawaii is my home and always in my heart!”

SAGE KEELY
1027 Da Bomb welcomes Sage Keely aka Sageh Talofa aka Lady Bomb–Bomb as the new co-host of The Keola Show! Sage’s radio career started right here at Pacific Media Group as a Promotions Assistant. Her keen observational skills and natural talent lent themselves beautifully when she first went on-air on May 24, 2022.
Born and raised on Oahu, she spent her childhood listening to the radio and morning shows during car rides to school. Sage is a graduate of Moanalua High School, where she was a part of MeneMac, a selective broadcasting and television production program. She also has 7 years of marketing experience which allows her to communicate with diverse communities within multiple industries.
“Even though I wake up super early for the show, it’s the best way to start my mornings — I feel lucky to start my day with joy and laughter with the amazing company of Keola and Joe,” says Sage. She also explains how she got the name Lady Bom(b) Bom(b), “I lived in London and “catfished” locals with an accent. It sounded legit enough for people to think that I’m from there. One of our listeners who caught that snippet on the show actually DM’d @thekeolashow on IG and asked me to do the Naughty Noodle Traffic Report with my English accent after that. We named my English character “Lady Bom Bom,” which stands for “butter on my muffin.”
Outside of work, Sage enjoys practicing self-development, and studying diplomacy, her two other passions. Check out the multi-talented Sage Keely, on 1027 Da Bomb, All the Hits Now! Sage Keely is the newest member to join The Keola Show.
