DJ Pup Dawg started his radio journey at the former KBBT (92.3 The Beat)/Los Angeles and joined the JAM’N 94.5 team in 2002. He was named MD 2008, moved to middays in 2013 and nights in 2015. In 2017, Pup Dawg was promoted to APD and afternoon drive.

“Pup’s hustle is legendary,” said Dylan Sprague, SVP of Programming for iHeartMedia Boston. “The man literally does it all and there is no better person to lead our talented JAM’N team. He has been a constant at our station for 20 years developing strong relationships with artists, managers, community leaders and his dedication is reflective in its success. Most of all, I’m excited about his vision for JAM’N’s future.”

Outside of his radio work, DJ Pup Dawg has dedicated his time to charitable organizations such as the David Ortiz Children’s Foundation, DJ Dream Fund, and the Juice Foundation. “I’m humbled to see my journey in radio lead to running a hip-hop station,” said Pup Dawg. “I followed my dreams and made a hobby into a passion and career. Los Angeles raised me, but Boston made me! Radio has given me the opportunities people dream of. I’m living the dream. This was all made possible with guidance from my boss and mentor, Dylan Sprague. I’m so grateful that he took the time to develop me for this next chapter. I’ve come up in this business and made real life-long connections. JAM’N is my family!”
