About this user

R Dub! was just 16 when he created Sunday Nite Slow Jams in the summer of 1994, and has since hosted and produced the show throughout the years.

Born in Chicago and growing up in L.A. and Orlando, Florida, R Dub! spent his time staying up late at night listening to various "Slow Jams" type radio shows around the country. He loved the music and the overall mood of Slow Jams and at age 13 decided his dream was to host his own Slow Jam show.

At age fifteen after moving to Tucson, Arizona with his family, R Dub! got his first chance in radio, volunteering at the local public radio station. Although he was on in the middle of the night, broadcasting out of a tiny radio station that didn't have many listeners, he was happy to be playing his Slow Jams...and even if just one person was listening, he knew he was making a difference in their night!

By the time R Dub! was a junior in high school, he was the full-time Slow Jams show host at the local hip-hop station, where Sunday Nite Slow Jams was born in 1994. As the years went by, and radio stations came and went, R Dub! managed to keep the Sunday Nite Slow Jams alive, taking them with him whenever he changed stations.

R Dub! spent a year constructing his own broadcast studio inside his home. Shortly after the facilities were completed in 2002, Sunday Nite Slow Jams went national, debuting in two new markets: Tulsa, Oklahoma and Nogales, Arizona.

On his birthday, December 1st, 2005, R Dub! launched his very own 24-hour Slow Jams internet radio station, so people could enjoy Slow Jams seven days a week!

In 2006, R Dub! decided to follow his dream to live (and do Slow Jams) in Brasil. After being granted a work visa to live in Brasil, he leased an apartment on the beach, packed up his stuff, and gave notice to the radio station in Tucson where he worked full-time as Program Director and Afternoon host.

But Brasil just wasn't in the cards for Dub just yet, as only FOUR DAYS before departing to Brasil forever, he received an offer for the dream job at his favorite radio station on the planet--Hot 92.3 in Los Angeles.

Today, R Dub! lives in Hollywood, California and works as Program Director for Hot 92.3. His Sunday Nite Slow Jams still airs every Sunday night and can now be heard all across the country and around the world in over 50 cities.

In December of 2007 R Dub!'s fantasy of creating an actual 24-hour all-Slow Jams radio station came true, when he launched Slow Jams Radio 92.3FM in Los Angeles. The station is Hot 92.3's HD Digital "Side Channel" and can be heard in Los Angeles at 92.3FM digital channel two on any reciever with HD technology. Soon after the launch of Slow Jams Radio in Los Angeles, Clear Channel Radio picked up the format as part of their national HD programming. Philadelphia and Baltimore are two of the first markets outside of Los Angeles to air Slow Jams Radio!
