July 25, 2023
Have an opinion? Add your comment below. If you weren't in radio, what do you think you'd be doing professionally?
I loved music and when I was younger i was on the Def Jam Street Team so I think I would have probably tried working for a record label or managing an artist.-
BRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS:
I've been in radio over 15 years with WZMX, hosting a lot of events for artists such as Nas,Busta Rhymes, Cardi B, Migos, KRS One, Big Daddy Kane, Ashanti, Monica, Brandy and more...
I'm big on community involvement and working with youth.
1. What got you into radio?
It was the love of music and entertainment that drew me to it.
2. What did you dream of becoming when you were a kid?
Like most kids where I'm from, I thought I was going to the NBA.
3. You're on the radio in your hometown. Does that ever pose any issues?
It's not really a problem because growing up here I have family and friends I came up with. You do get people or artists who feel you should do things or owe them things because I'm from here. I'm respected in my city, and I don't disrespect people, so I don't get disrespected. I get more love than hate.
4. What was your first thought when presented with being up before the sun every morning ready to entertain and inform people?
I'm not gonna lie, I was worried about being able to get up at 4:30 every morning because I'm a night owl! But I was definitely with it and couldn't wait to start.
5. What would probably surprise most people about living and working in Hartford?
The diversity that's here. From all of the different types of food, the nightlife and how much people here are into music. A lot of artists got their start right here in Connecticut.
6. If you weren't in radio, what do you think you'd be doing professionally?
I loved music and when I was younger i was on the Def Jam Street Team so I think I would have probably tried working for a record label or managing an artist.
7. Where's your first social media stop in the morning?
I've got a few. I fluctuate between Allhiphop.com, The Shade Room, Hollywood Unlocked and TMZ.
8. If you could be on any TV reality show or game show, which would you want to be on?
Definitely a game show. Probably Wheel Of Fortune or bring back some of the older ones like Love Connection, Family Feud, and preferably I'd be hosting them.
9. If Netflix wants to do a show about the Hot 93.7 morning show, who gets cast as you and who gets cast as Buck?
The perfect guy to play Buck sadly passed away. The big guy from the movie, "Life", Michael Taliferro. Who'd be cast as me? Of course, Denzel! (lol). No seriously, I don't know. I've been told I favor a few people but just last week I was told a comedian named Kountry Wayne so I guess he can get the part. lol
10. If you had to eat one type of meal every day for a month, what would it be?
Probably seafood. It would be lobster tails and crab legs.
