DJ Ballistic Billy

DJ Ballistic Billy hails from Miami, Florida where he began mixing at age twelve. At the age of fifteen, he became an on air mixer at one of Miami's major market radio stations, WPOW Power 96, becoming the youngest mixer on air during that time in the south Florida area. Through the years, he gained popularity and soon became one of the most identifiable nighttime mixers in South Florida with a listening audience through primetime mix shows for 600,000 plus listeners. Because of his rising popularity, he then found himself behind the microphone as an on air personality. DJ Ballistic Billy also obtained a local sponsorship from a name brand shoe and clothing company. DJ Ballistic Billy stayed with WPOW until he was 23, however during that time he was by no means limited to the Miami area or the radio medium. In addition to playing in Puerto Rico he has covered as far south as Key West all the way to California and everywhere in between.

In the year 2003 through 2004 he was holding down a primetime radio show which he achieved number 1 ratings in one Arbitron rating book on WLHR Hot 107.9 in Panama City Beach, Florida, the Spring Break capitol of the world. The show was heard live from Club LaVela, the Largest Night Club in the USA, which has been featured on numerous television stations and shows including MTV, E!
