Where There’s A Willz….

• Yonni Rude, Operations Manager of Radio One Cleveland, announced the promotion of Matty Willz to middays on Urban WENZ (Z107.9). Willz succeeds DJ Angel Baby, who earns the transfer to afternoon drive on Urban sister WQNC (92.7 The Block)/Charlotte.

Willz will continue to serve as the local affiliate producer of The Morning Hustle on Z107.9. “As a personality, Matty Willz has grown so much over the past year,” said Rude. “He has earned his place in the starting line-up.”

Willz graduated from Ohio Media School in the fall of 2014 and began his journey with Radio One in June 2015. He’s also the host of #zSportsMinute— a web-based video series in which he comically delivers trending sports news on Instagram and Facebook.

Commenting on his new opportunity, Willz said, “I’ve always just tried to stay committed to the process. Instead of worrying about timing and things outside of my control, I just stayed focused on being prepared and doing the best I could do every day. In that, I learned if you put in the work, dreams really do come true!”
