dj.plazma Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 For me that's a multi-part question: 1)Ever since I was a kid I wanted to dj. I still have cassette that I made when I was in sixth grade that has me playing a K-tel album (Dynamite)with me coming out of one track and introducing the next. That tape was made in about 1974. 2) I started DJing when I was 17 with my best friend at the time. We'd do wedding receptions, picnic, parties...anything that paid. 3) Back in the early 80s I did fill-ins for a local AM station (wtrx), spun American Top 40 (it came on albums then), and did voice production work. 4) In 1992 my best friend Lance and I started working together as The Jim & Lance Show. We did a lot of charity work, most notably 11 years of volunteer work for the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life events. 5) For the last 5 years we've also supported Crazy Al's Radio Party and taken them from a small AM radio station in Pontiac, Mi to the internet oldies radio notoriety. 6) PlaZma Radio went online about 4 years ago, but the persona I developed long before then in audio webcasts, chat rooms, etc. Whew. To put it succinctly, I've always wanted to DJ in one form or another. Since I can't get on the FM airwaves PlaZma Radio fills that need nicely.

MADcHATTER Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 1979 University of Miami, my fraternity brother was a DJ on the campus radio station and I would help him out in the studio and on the air as a sidekick/tech. Some friends on campus heard about a job DJing at a local RollerSkating Rink and told the manager about me. I worked there for over a year and my sets were quite popular. Between various traveling bands and studio work as a musician I got more involved in the technical aspect as well as the artistic. I also co-dj'd on an AM radio station with a local DJ doing comedy bits and talk. I got involved in Internet DJing when I started my own station WAKD in Buffalo, NY in 2003. In 2004 I met up with some Shortwavers online and we started iWebRadio. After a year of next to no listeners they decided to drop the station. I took over the reigns and have been running it ever since. My first year we went from 6,000 listener hours to over 60,000. This past April 1st, we had over 126,000 listener hours and are still growing. I dont have any plans to stop anytime soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
