Elmo Hewlett was born 1964 in Miles Cove, Newfoundland. He left Miles Cove when he as 21 and moved to Ontario where he lived in Toronto for three years. In 1989 he moved to Guelph Ontario where was employed in a plastics factory.

Elmo was married in 1997 and has a child who was born in 2004. When the factory closed in 2006, the family had to make a decision and Elmo, his wife and child decided it was time to leave Ontario and after careful consideration decided to move to Grand Falls-Windsor in 2007. Elmo became active as a volunteer with numerous groups within the town. He is currently President of the Corduroy Brook Enhancement Association and an active member in his local church. In recognition of his volunteer activities he was nominated as Citizen of the Year twice. He is currently employed with the Town of Grand Falls-Windsor with the Parks and Recreation Department.

Elmo has a love for all types of music, but, it is the traditional Newfoundland Music that has always appealed to him the most. He says that he believes the love of traditional music came from his childhood upbringing and his show Mid Week Blast which offers traditional Newfoundland favourites reflect that. He will always offer stories from his early days which he entertains with tales about his family and childhood and particularly his grandfather who was a huge influence on him and his love of traditional Music.
