Meet Our DJs & Hosts:
THE INCREDIBLE
DJ TALL RON
I grew up in a household where both my parents listened to a variety of music from a range of different eras. Around 13 years old, kidding around with a couple of friends, we threw a mock party for our hangout group (of course we were the DJs). Borrowing records I grew up listening to from my parent’s collections proved to be the magic spark that would get me seriously moving in an entertainment direction. Although the journey wasn’t an instant success, it would take me several years before emergence and acceptance. Throughout the years it has afforded me various opportunities, and involvement in ventures that teach invaluable lessons, skills and put me in the presence of incredible people (some famous and some not as famous). It is a long way from 13 and today brings me back to humble beginnings and back to the idea that I could be your DJ, Entertainer and Host.
The Legendary
DJ RONN KAY
Growing up I was one of those kids that liked comics. I started to collect almost every issue. That was something for me to spend my money on. Then realizing that there were other things to do with my time, I started to collect vinyl. It was the same as going to a comic book store, but I needed something to play the vinyl on. We had an old record player that my mother used to listen to her music. Then I realized why not get my own player. There were stores selling turntables so l bought one. I went to a block party and saw where the guys were using two turn tables and I said I can do that. I sold my comic book collection and I put the turntables on layaway. My first party you can say was playing for my family with the records we had in the house and the rest was history which lead to crates and crates of vinyl.
Ash Fault Jungle – C. Stevans
Most will know me as the driving force behind the music of Ash Fault Jungle, based out of Chicago, Illinois. I didn’t really start on a musical career path until my late teens, the latter part of the 1980s. Growing up in the 70s and 80s in the Niagara Peninsula in Ontario, Canada, I had the luxury of listening to both American and Canadian radio stations and their personalities. What is most important is that I was exposed to all the great music from both countries, which has led to my vast knowledge of music to this day. At a very early age I was immersed in music by my mother and father. At the age of five, I was given a portable radio with a cassette recorder for Christmas. I would record songs right off the radio and then tape over the radio personality, inserting my voice, pretending to be that radio personality. Little did I know that 50 years later, that would come full circle, and I would have my own radio show in the Let Your Hair Down Power Hour.
DJ NORDIQUE
I grew up in Canada and joined the Air Force at 19 years old. I retired after 20 years and made Magnolia, Delaware, my home. I joined the military because I wanted to see the world and get an excellent education. After retirement, I did a few odd jobs here and there, but I was still collecting my retirement pay. I decided to become a DJ and bought my first controller, which was a Pioneer DJ 400, along with a pair of speakers that weren’t more than 50 Watts a piece. Before I knew it, I was teaching myself to be a DJ, and eventually, I moved up to bigger and better equipment. Presently, I have a Denon Prime 4 multichannel controller, no computer is needed. It has Bluetooth, and I now have speakers that would rock a small town.
My favorite type of music is electronic dance music (EDM), but I can play all kinds of EDM music. I was influenced by EDM music because I often flew to England and Germany. That’s all they played, and I grew to love it.
There’s more to music than just the music. I started adding lights. I started with one set of lights, then went to two moving heads, and now I have abundant lighting. I have two spotlights that light up the sky. The music is really cool and fun. It has some excitement, and it gets people moving. I taught myself how to rig my lights up. I’ve created a webpage where you can book me directly for any event or function.
All this has happened in the last three years, so I move fast and learn fast. I enjoy working with lighting, and I love teaching people and seeing them dance and have a good time. Now, you can find me on R2RB – Reel 2 Reel Broadcasting, where I love being an on-air DJ Personality.
FRNDS VS FRNDS
Daily NBA News/Highlight’s/Rumor’s/Reports
Catch our biweekly Podcast as we talk NBA Topics.
We argue and debate about basketball topics like we are literally in the barbershop. We are:
KYLE BYRD
My introduction to basketball and sneaker culture originated in the early 90s with the emergence of Shaquille O’Neal. Shaq was a juggernaut and I mimicked him constantly on my Nerf Hoop or outside on anything I could hang on. My aunt, a teenager when I was born, used to buy me a pair of sneakers everytime she bought some for herself. It didn’t take long for me to make the connection between sports and footwear.
As long as I’ve watched I have always talked trash, as joking and banter between friends tends to strengthen bonds between young men. I met my co-hosts early on in life and have always carried on conversations about all matters of life with them, although none more empassioned then when we talk about sports. Our shared love for the New York Knicks and our penchant for recreational disagreement lead me to join my friends in creating the Frnds vs Frnds Podcast. It is my pleasure to disagree with you! Thanks for listening!

TALK SHOW HOST/PODCASTER
DEB LAMOTTA
I started my wedding officiant business 10+ years ago. I’ve recently moved to Delaware where I found myself redesigning my wedding website. While working on the wedding vendor page, I was talking to many women-owned wedding businesses and they were all sharing their story of how they got started and what the journey had been like for them. I decided that I wanted to share those stories and I started my Podcast Series, Women Entrepreneurs Spotlight. Soon after I started the Podcast Series, a friend of mine was DJing on an Online Radio Network and I got a bug to try my hand at sharing my podcast series on the radio and the rest is history.
