Born and raised in Heavy-D's hometown, nostalgically known as "money-earnin' Mt. Vernon," I'm no amateur when it comes to the world of radio and hip-hop. Growing up listening to NYC radio, I always wondered if I could be like the voices I heard comin through my boom box. Best known to my listeners as "The Quiet Storm Queen", I was later your "Midday Mami", hosting "The Back in the Day Buffet" & "Saturday Nights in the Mix". I was the Southern Entertainment Awards 2005 nominee for “#1 Female Personality” & “Personality of the Year (Middays)”. I have also been featured in Ozone Magazine, as well as on MTV.com Mixtape Mondays in excess of four times. A member of the world renowned NoizeMob Djs & The MurdaMamis, my aka "Mz Hoffa" was heavy in the mixtape circuit. Formerly the "Midday Mami", this "Midnight Mami" now rocks ya airwaves on "The HOTness" as your host "The Night Show Diva" weeknights 7p-12midnight on Hot 99.1 with my "Reality Check", "Facebook Hottie Shoutout", & my brand new 2hour R&B segment from 10pm until midnight "HOT After Dark" for the lover in you! I also hold you down on your weekends Saturday mornings 10am-2pm. I keep the airwaves sexy but I can turn up too, with a flair of style all my own, never ceasing to entertain you, and always showing love.
