Shorty da Prince

Shorty started his career in radio when he was just twelve years old after winning a radio host search at KATZ 100.3 The Beat. He hosted a Saturday morning show and begin to become popular radio DJ in the city, eventually becoming the prime time DJ in St Louis, landing the 6 pm-to-midnight slot Monday through Friday, all while still in high school. After honing his craft, Shorty became one of St. Louis’ top rated on-air personalities on WHHL HOT 104.1. In 2010, he set his sights on Detroit and landed a gig hosting a top-rated night show on the most popular hip hop station in the city, HOT 107.5. As of 2015 Shorty can be heard on 93.9 WKYS in the DMV (DC/MD/VA).

Shorty soon realized his talents couldn’t be contained behind a microphone and decided to step in front of the camera. He pursued opportunities in television, quickly landing the opportunity to act as a correspondent for BET’s 106 and Park and eventually securing the host slot.

Beginning May 5, 2014, Shorty will become the afternoon drive DJ on Cleveland radio station WENZ 107.9 FM.

Shorty is most known for his 2008 summer anthem “Wah Wah Wow.” Despite being released from Atlantic/Warner Bros Records in 2010 Shorty continues to crank out music for his fans. Upon his release, Shorty da Kid changed his stage name to Shorty da Prince.
