The Vanglorious Show w/ DJ OO Kee
Kenya White, a native of Columbus, GA. Born to Denise Taylor and Tyrone Walker (deceased)and the oldest of 5 siblings. Kenya is married to Nicole White and has children. Music was always around; growing up in a home with uncles playing instruments every day has taken him on a journey that developed his knowledge, passion, and love for music.
Kenya began taking music seriously when he joined the Fort Junior Middle School band playing the trumpet. At George Washington Carver High School, he became the 2nd chair trumpet player in his freshmen year (usually held by upperclassmen). As a marching band member, he played the trumpet and the snare drum, bass, and quad drums.
Also while in high school, another talent was discovered… DJ OO Kee was born when he asked to DJ for the high school talent show, earning his title as the go-to DJ for all the high school parties for his remaining high school years and transitioning into a teen club DJ at the age of 17. In his senior year, he earned a band scholarship from Morris Brown College in Atlanta, Ga where his passion and love for djing grew even stronger.
Dj OO Kee would come home on the weekends to DJ at the clubs in the Tri-City area of Columbus and several other towns and cities in Georgia and Alabama. In 2003, after creating a large following, he gained the attention of a sales representative at Davis.
Broadcasting Inc., where he was offered a position and became a radio board operator and mix show DJ for WFXE (FOXIE 105). The Program Director noticed the passion and hustle in him and allowed him to learn how to program the music for the station, in which he became the Mix Show DJ coordinator and the Music Director for Foxie 105.
As time passed, he enhanced his knowledge of the radio station, the music business, and the community, eventually becoming an on-air personality with The Vainglorious Show on Foxie 105 from 7 pm to midnight. The show became the highest-rated night show in the market, gaining the highest rating of 40% shares in Georgia (still today). That growth led him to the position as Assistant Program Director for DBI. Awarded APD of the Year 2019 from his radio peers and the music industry. 22 years later on Foxie 105 as the Afternoon Host From 3pm-7pm, and Brand Manager of WFXE-FM and WIOL-AM. DJ OO Kee has endorsed such companies as McDonalds, Cricket, Charter Communications, Nissan, Metro Pcs, Kanner & Pintaluga, Navy Federal, Wendy’s, and many more!
DJ OO KEE says it’s the love for the music and how music makes others feel that keeps him happy doing what he does… It’s 2024, and he’s had the pleasure of working with many community leaders and important and famous people of interest during this journey, and the marathon Continues…
