Growing up in the middle of nowhere, Shaggy grew up listening to radio personalities like Curly Joe from AM station WKMT 1220 as well as Henry Boggins from WBT. Drawing from those influences, as well as the teaching of "Chatty" Hattie Leeper and "Apollo" from Apollo Productions, Shaggy has produced elements for national syndicated shows on Sirius, XM, NASCAR, and more than 400 terrestrial radio stations across the globe.
