Austin State University(SFA), he created popular hip-hop mix-tapes in collaboration with independent artists, which led to work as an on-air DJ for 2 radio stations in the region known as Deep East Texas. He selected & sequenced the playlists for both shows that he hosted, the "Y101.9 Street Party" on KYBI in Lufkin, & the "Underground Sound Machine" on KSAU 90.1 in Nacogdoches.
