It was 2AM when a nervous 16-year-old cracked that mic for the first time, reading dedications and playing special Slow Jam requests on a new radio show called Nyte Flyte. But owner Ron Coss was patient, understanding and an amazing coach, who never gave up on R Dub! He once ruined an entire All State Insurance Christmas Party of 400 people when the sound system failed mid-song and he couldnвЂ™t fix it. Scared to speak on the mic, and absolutely technically un-savvy, R Dub! dreaded showing up for this gig every weekend, but knew it was a good stepping stone for his future in radio. HeвЂ™d begin practicing this philosophy right away, and consistently throughout his life, as well as sharing his story with others, as a guest speaker at schools.ДЇun fact: He was a horrible mobile DJ. The major life-lesson R Dub! learned here? To never, ever be afraid of a вЂњno вЂќ to always take the chance and to never let the fear of rejection stop you. Three days later he received a call from Ron.

He figured there was absolutely no way in the world heвЂ™d land this job as a professional DJ at 15 years old. While the owner, Ron Coss, certainly was nice enough, R Dub!вЂ™s hopes werenвЂ™t high. The whole time R Dub! was a nervous wreck and still embarrassed that his вЂњmomвЂќ had set this interview up. He got in line behind older, more experienced applicants, before finally being called in to meet the owner and be interviewed. He didnвЂ™t even drive yet, so Mom dropped him off a block away. He was furious at his mom, and wanted to crawl and hide under a rock.

The next day when R Dub! returned home from another grueling day of manual labor under the Arizona sun, his mom informed him that she had called the company who was looking to hire the DJ, and talked to the owner all about her sonвЂ¦and had scheduled an interview for R Dub! As a 15-year-old boy who was smack dab in the middle of his вЂњtrying to be coolвЂќ phase, this was a nightmare! It was horrendously embarrassing to know that his вЂњmomвЂќ called a potential employer for him. One afternoon R Dub! came home to his excited mother whoвЂ™d just discovered a вЂњwant adвЂќ in the newspaper for a вЂњDJ.вЂќ A local mobile disc jockey company was looking for a new DJ to spin at parties, weddings, quinceaГ±eras, etc.В When R Dub!вЂ™s mom suggested he call and apply, R Dub! laughed and said, вЂњNo way! I have zero experience and they probably have professionals applying. He was just 15 and had a summer job working for a landscaping crew, where heвЂ™d move rocks and dig up cacti in 115 degree heat. R Dub! had just moved from Florida, to Tucson, Arizona. R Dub! became a student of the game, with professors that had no idea they were teaching this kid. Now that R Dub! had discovered вЂњSlow Jams,вЂќ and those Slow Jams вЂњshowsвЂќ on the radio, it was easy to become inspired by late night legends like Robert Morgan and Bruce B-Box of WJHM-Orlando, Mike Hudson of WGCI-Chicago and Kevin вЂњSlow Jammin'вЂќ James (the creator of вЂњThe Slow JamвЂќ show) of KKBT-Los Angeles. & amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp lt span data-mce-type=вЂќbookmarkвЂќ style=вЂќdisplay: inline-block width: 0px overflow: hidden line-height: 0 вЂќ class=вЂќmce_SELRES_startвЂќ& amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp gt п»ї& amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp lt /span& amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp gt The song spoke to R Dub! and would change the course of his life in just under five minutes. Before heвЂ™d arrive at a pop music channel, he stopped at a station playing TroopвЂ™s вЂњAll I Do Is Think of You.вЂќ It was playing during The Quiet Storm on OrlandoвЂs 102 Jamz. HeвЂ™d just moved from Los Angeles and was scanning the dial in search of a Top 40 station like the one back home. It happened by accident: late at night, as a 13-year-old R Dub! unpacked his prized clock-radio at his new home in Kissimmee, Florida. June 1990 вЂ“ R Dub!вЂ™s first exposure to the вЂњSlow Jam.вЂќ With a weeknight version of the show, the website, and its own 24-hour iHeart Radio channel, today R Dub! reaches over three million listeners each week.

The show features love songs from today and yesterday and special coast-to-coast dedications, called Oral Expressions. Today, Sunday Night Slow Jams can be heard on over 200 radio stations across America and around the world and is one of AmericaвЂ™s highest rated radio programs.
