The star will be dedicated in the category of Radio at 6212 Hollywood Boulevard in front of Amoeba Music.

"Big Boy" was born in Chicago and moved to California at the age of two. He became acquainted with the music world while DJing parties. He soon became a bodyguard for a group called The Pharcyde. He became friends with the Baka Boyz, the morning show hosts at Power 106. Always a funny personality, he was offered a hosting position with the station, soon proving successful in night-time and afternoon hosting spots. However, his first big break onto the national spotlight was when he was hired to as the announcer on Vibe TV Talkshow, while simultaneously hosting his morning radio show on Power 106 and the rest is history. He continued with Power for just over 20 years.

His radio show and brand "Big Boy's" Neighborhood" is now airing in syndication on Premiere Radio Network and daily on FUSE television. He's been recognized as Radio Music Awards' Personality of the Year four times. The National Association of Broadcasters has also recognized "Big Boy"s talent with the Marconi Award, a very rare three times and he is also an inductee to the National Radio Hall of Fame.
