G.Keith Alexander

As the former host of What's Hot! New York, the music and entertainment segment of Fox 5 New York’s “The McCreary Report”, G. Keith Alexander interviewed nearly 200 of today’s R&B and Hip-Hop artists and introduced his audiences to their hot debut releases, giving many their first exposure on TV. It is no question that G. Keith knows talent. It is also no wonder because, G. Keith is, himself, a tremendous talent. In radio, television, and in advertising doing voice overs, he has built an impressive career as a media broadcaster and communicator, having influenced millions of people with the sound of his voice. And what a voice! It is smooth, distinctive and commanding -- like his personal style. Born and raised in Chicago, G. Keith as a young boy had dreams of becoming a disc jockey and eventually became music director and afternoon jock for his native city's WGCI. His baritone delivery has also resounded over the airwaves of Disco 92 WKTU, 98.7 KISS-FM, former jazz station WRVR, Inner City Broadcasting's WBLS in the Big Apple, Clear Channel’s Jammin’ 105 and Infinity’s New MIX 102.7. And while New York City has remained his home throughout his professional career, his appeal has been national.
