tumblr_o4gwcgyYz51u9rrwio1_1280Radio Active was born in Birmingham, AL. He has always wanted to be in radio in some way for or fashion ever since he can remember. He was given the chance of being in radio at a very young age when he use to hang around and some might say harass the local radio personalities at his favorite radio stations while he was growing up. His mother and brother are who influenced him the most with music and with a variety of music. His mother would listen to anything from classic soul such as Otis Redding, Ben E. King, The Four Tops, Temptations to pop stars like Cher, Rod Stewart, Neil Diamond and Celine Dion and more. While his brother would introduce him to rock acts like Candlebox, Guns N Roses, Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Aerosmith Metallica, AC/DC and so much more. He also was influenced by his cousin who introduced him to one of his all time favorite musicians his royal purpleness Prince. He also loves classical music but mostly from Mozart or Beethoven because they were really demented people for their day. Then when the 90’s hit he was heavily influenced by the gangsta rap and hip hop of the time with some of his top musicians being Bone Thugs N Harmony, Do or Die, N.W.A., Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Run DMC, Geto Boys, Naughty by Nature, Paperboy, Outkast, LLCoolJ just to name a few but his favorite and go to rap even to this day is anything by 2Pac.

Growing up with such a taste for music or as he often puts is “Schizophrenic playlist” its no wonder he wanted to get into radio. He has worked for various radio and broadcast companies in and out since the late 90’s. He doesn’t name them because most of them have been purchased by other companies and are no longer in business. He was able to finally get his own show in late 2009 in Atlanta, Georgia but the station would eventually end up being purchased and he made the jump to a new company that was looking for new talent to help them start their company and has been on the air since 2010. In late 2013 Radio Active decided to move his show back to Birmingham, AL when he was given the chance to head up new radio stations there and with more freedom and creativity over his show. In 2015 he moved into a bigger office with more of a personal studio in what would be the first few steps of creating a larger Broadcasting company in Birmingham.  In early 2016 he decided he was going to make his show more positive than it had been in the past and would try to stick to more lighthearted news and entertainment and would take more time to thank those who have helped him get where he is going.

He always opens The Radio Active Show with thanking the “big man upstairs”, thanking the men and women who serve this great nation of our no matter what uniform they are wearing and showing respect to the country by playing the Star Spangled Banner version by Madison Rising and Pledging Allegiance. He was picked to host a countdown show that is designed and controlled by the listener named “The Countdown with Radio Active” which will launch a bigger version in April 2016 covering more genres of music. He has many podcasts and segments he does on The Radio Active Show and will soon start a Review Show and Weekly Rewind Show with live broadcasts from his studio and all over Birmingham. Though he has been doing it for a while he is only getting started with what he wants to do and where he wants to take things. It is what he loves and it is what he does!

When he is not working he spends as much of his free time as he can with his wife and children and is often seen listening to or looking into new acts and checking out as much new music as possible. Here is a little more about him from him…
