DJ MIKE SWIFT

In Ya Box Entertainment Presents...

IN YA BOX AND REDEFINING NEW ORLEANS RADIO MARKET...the multifaceted DJ Mike Swift is making a name for himself as an On-Air Personality/Mix Show DJ on the

Crescent Citys newest Hip-Hop station; Power 102.9 KKND-FM, a Cumulus Broadcasting affiliate.

We know him as Mr. Fist-Pumps, The

New Orleans Club King, and for his radio

shows trademark moniker In Ya Box!; yet, the

mega star we know today as the infamous DJ

Mike Swift had humble beginnings in his

hometown of Algiers, La. Swift, known then as

simply Michael Powell, was raised by a single

mother and born into a family infused with heavy

musical influence. Grandson of a local jazz

magician and son of a multifaceted musician

and singer, Swift was predestined to follow a

career in music. He began playing the clarinet

at the age of seven, but after hearing The

Pharcydes Labcabincalifornia LP, Michael

abandoned the clarinet to pursue his new found

love of Hip-Hop. At the age of twelve, Swift

saved up his allowance and brought his first DJ

kit from an ad in the Source Magazine. He

quickly developed a following DJing through a

local circuit of private parties and high school

dances. Upon his graduation from Edna Karr

High School in 2002, Swift attended Dillard

University where he became resident DJ. Swifts

buzz among the college crowd also landed him

in the resident DJ position at Dillards rival

school Xavier University. This cross-campus

exposure gained him the recognition which

allowed him to host parties at the citys most

popular venues and solidify himself as a record

producer.

In the winter of 2005, Swift landed a spot

on the then local R&B station 102.9 KMEZ-FM

and simultaneously served as Program Director

and Consultant of Dillard Universitys WDUB

campus radio. Just two years later, in 2007,

Swift was inducted into the infamous Definition

DJs. Two months after Swifts college

graduation, in July 2008, 102.9 was revamped

I bought my first DJ kit from an ad

in the back of The Source Magazine
