Will, heart and faith, are all of the traits that this female,
Baltimore native, ascertained, in order to excel in a male
dominated, hustle-minded, fast paced industry. Khia Edgerton a.k.a
the “Club Queen K-Swift” was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland
on October 19,1980. Growing up, she had many influences to help
drive her into what some might say is a successful music career and
others her destiny. Her influences were Cocoa Channel and Jazzy
Joyce along with her father who had an immense passion for music.
K-Swift began DJing at the age of 11; now 14 years later, she’s not
only Baltimore’s only female DJ, but she’s also the only female Mix
Show Coordinator in the country! Her desires to become a
professional, well-known DJ were met with numerous obstacles. She
received a lot of skepticism from males however; she never let that
phase her. Her formula for brushing off all the haters was to just
do her own thing and stay focused. Long hours spent working to
enhance her DJ skills paid off.
At the age of 18, she was
offered an internship at Radio One of Baltimore; 92Q Jams. From
this point on, her will, faith, and formula quickly began to turn
her yesterday’s dream into a reality. That same year she began
producing shows for the station, the first being the Mark Young
Show, followed by the Neke @ Night Show. Two years later, her
impressive and consistent performance as an intern landed her a job
with 92Q, where she officially became the first female DJ on the
“Q”. She began DJing for a show that she and an on-air personality,
Neke produced, which was called Ladies Night. That show was a big
hit, therefore her new offer to be an on air personality was
inevitable. After becoming an on-air personality, she then was
presented with an opportunity to mix for the “Big Phat Morning
Show”. Benefiting from that opportunity and growing as a DJ, she
held this position for two years. She then decided to continue to
expand her horizons, as she switched from part time to full time.
Once she became a full time DJ she began taking over the night show
from 6-10 on the Q with her co-host Reggie Reg. Not a surprise that
this show became the number one night show in Baltimore. Oh, and it
doesn’t stop there, she just doesn’t stop. As changes were being
made at the station she remained as the late night DJ, now with
co-host Squirrel Wyde, which is currently the number one night show
in Baltimore.
K-Swift plays at all the hottest clubs &
parties in Baltimore; her fan base is beyond celebrity status. She
mixes for all the high school parties as well as in the mall for
Downtown Locker Room a popular urban retailer of footwear, apparel,
and music. Working at the Q opened numerous doors for K-Swift;
she’s done big shows with HOT artist like Paula Campbell and Lil
Mo. She‘s a member of the hottest DJ’s in the country known as the
Violator All Star DJ’s, as well as the all female squad MURDA
MAMIS. Her expertise as a DJ, and her career as an on air
personality aren’t the limits of her capabilities. She is also the
proud owner of her own Graphics Company, and Production and
Management Company (Club Queen Entertainment), while simultaneously
selling her own mix Cd’s on her website and in stores across the
United States. In addition to all those hats that she wears, she’s
also the ONLY female Record Pool Director in Baltimore for Direct
Drive Record Pool. K-Swift is just unstoppable. She’s unique and
unpredictable. She always bringing the hottest and latest music,
not only does she bring hype to the party through her mixing
skills, but her aggressive voice on the mike boosts the entire
experience. Her love for what she does along with her caring and
outgoing personality has taken her to the top, but she’s never
going to settle. There’s so much more out there that she would like
to pursue. Her goal right now is to go on tour with a major artist,
and excel at being an entrepreneur. K-Swift is definitely a woman
that the music industry doesn’t want to sleep on, she conquers any
and all obstacles that come her way, and her drive should let you
know that she can’t stop, and won’t stop, until she’s done it
all.
