After graduating from Florida A&M University in 2001 he served as head writer and producer of the Buckwilde Morning Show WBHJ 95.7 JAMZ- Birmingham, AL until 2007. He has since returned to that very same station to host his own morning show 'The Roy Wood Jr Show: Good Morning' He is also a regular guest on the 'Bob & Tom Radio Show, a syndicated morning show heard by more than six million people every morning.
