The station, which is powered by the U.S. Census Bureau, will feature a wide range of genres including afro beats, dance hall, reggae, soca, hip hop, top 40 and big chune, and will serve as a complement to sister station WVEE-FM (V-103).

"Atlanta is an international city and we have a responsibility to serve everyone in this great city 24 hours a day, seven days a week," said Rouse. "V-103 International strives to build an inclusive community for those looking for a diverse and engaging listening experience, both in this great city and nationwide via RADIO.COM."

While attending Hampton University, Kweku launched his radio career as an air personality for 103.9 The Beat, hosting a variety of segments. He has since been heard on airwaves in many cities along the East coast. In 2012, Kweku launched Dark Secret International which is dedicated to developing long term business relationships with African, Asian and Hispanic communities across the globe.

At age 16, he joined "Super Saint Disco" in St. Andrew and travelled across Jamaica performing in sound clashes and dances. He later joined popular Jamaican station Hot 102 FM where he produced four award-winning and top-rated current affairs radio programs. Mix Master David is one of the top requested DJs in Atlanta today, he plays dancehall parties as well as crossover events mixing hip hop, top 40 and electronic music.
