In part one of my podcast episode with the legendary Howard Q aka The Teflon Don, we discuss some of the developmental stages of his life and career. Howard was a gypsy of sorts being an army brat growing up in the Westwood area. His love for music ignited at a very young age as his father was a musician. Upon graduating from Hillcrest, he ventured off to college at Tennessee State University majoring in computer science. As a member of the band at TSU, Howard quickly transitioned from carrying crates for local DJs to becoming one of the founding members of Voice Entertainment. Howard shares quite a few memories during his college years but one duly noted is his initiation into Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity. Listen closely as he also describes how he navigated the delicate balance of corporate life and the underground world of nightlife which birth the Collegiate Connection. If you’re in my age range you may remember frequenting Denim & Diamonds back in the day hearing Howard on the mic whose words would make anyone blush. Of course he goes into detail on how he used “sex” as a unifier for party goers. We close the pod out with Howard informing us on his latest project with Studio 3. Unfortunately we did not have enough time to capture all the juice in one episode. Keep your eyes and ears open for part two in the very near future.
