I was born in Philadelphia, PA and moved to Zephyrhills, FL when I was seven. I got my first guitar when I was 8 and have been a musician since. I've always been interested in music. I played in a country rock band in the late 80's thru the early 90's. I gave up the bars and night clubs in 92 and since then, I've been involved in writing and recording music in my studio. I am currently working on a long term project with a friend from the old bar days. Basically, he writes the songs and I do all the music. If anyone is interested, you can find his songs on all the streaming platforms and Youtube under the name, Carolina Renegade. How's that for a cheap plug? LOL.
After moving to Pickens in 96, another very good friend of mine and I decided we were gonna try our hand at radio. I found a private server that allowed me to do that and we started a Saturday night radio show for our friends. It went ok for a while but people kinda lost interest in it. Now, down to the meat of it!
About 6 months ago, I decided I would start to develop a full on radio station for the Pickens community. Not Easley, not Liberty, and certainly not Greenville. This is for Pickens exclusively. W.R.P.K Radio plays 70's and 80's rock with local news and community announcements, etc. I always welcome input from the Pickens community so if anyone has any suggestions, feel free to reach out to us at wrpkradio@gmail.com.
Thanks so much
