Growing up in New Orleans, I knew I wanted to be a DJ since I was a kid. I eventually got the opportunity to be on-air and haven't looked back since. Being in radio, I've had the opportunity to DJ at clubs across the gulf coast. I was raised on Star Wars, spent post-college years with South Park, and am a fan of Game of Thrones and living the cruise ship life (rarely).

As you may recall, New Orleans Saints Defensive End Will Smith was arrested in Lafayette recently. Now he's speaking out on the matter. Although he's not saying a whole lot.
