The Woman Behind Cleveland's New Empire DJ Squirt

What a joy is to connect with Rhonda Saxton. Known for years as DJ Squirt, and her work with The Nerve DJs, she’s taken the world by storm all over again with her latest venture, Urban City Radio Station. It’s no question that many counted her out, given her lengthy hiatus from the limelight. For her own reasons, those which are discussed in our exclusive, Squirt, as she is affectionately called, chose to drop it all and lead a “regular life”, building a career in computer programming. Even she didn’t know it would lead her back to her true love of music. Life has led her down a trail of familiarity in ups and downs, and the average person would have succumbed.

Squirt, as you’ll learn through our feature, is not the type to let anything stop her. Her grind is through the roof, and she wants you to know it. Her foray back into music, although inevitably, came at a time when it was least expected. A layoff will do that to you. The uncertainty in losing a job, one you’ve had for years, can be daunting to the strongest. While definitely shook, she didn’t let it throw her down for the count. A conversation with the very man she credits as her best friend; her “daddy”, was all it took for her to take the leap. Her relationship with her father is just that deep, and he validated what was really in her heart. That; my friends, was the birthing of Urban City Radio Station.
