Ms Smiley / The Program Director

Ms. Smiley (who says that she's married to her job) is an industry vet...That's a strong statement for someone so young, but it's true. If you were listening to hip hop in Detroit in the early 90's, chances are the line, "Smiley ... but I'm not friendly, for the simple fact that it's just not in me..." will bring a smile to your own face. Her first rap single, "Smiley, But I'm Not Friendly" released in 1989, was certified gold. Fast forward to 1992...Smiley signed on with the largest Modeling agency in Michigan and hit the road with the North American International Auto Show as a spokesmodel. Smiley toured around the country with Chrysler and Subaru for 4 years. In 1996 Smiley was ready to switch gears so she headed to Chicago to meet with John H Johnson founder of Johnson Publishing / Ebony & Jet Magazine. Smiley auditioned for the Ebony Fashion Fair and was hired on the spot as the commentator and coordinator for the world's largest traveling fashion show. Smiley toured around the world with The Ebony Fashion Fair for 2 years! Now, Detroit's very own female MC has been an on-air personality at HOT 102.7 for four years, but she has 18 years under her belt for length of time in the entertainment industry.
