KIMBERLY
KAYE
Kimberly's first job in radio was as a sales associate for
radio staton WJAK. She did that for a few months
before finally getting the opportunity of a lifetime
when the owner of WFXX James E. Super Wolfe,
husband of blues legend Denise LaSalle, asked her to
be music director and on air talent. The rest is history.
Kimberly has remained at the station for 28 amazing
years. Often asked why didn't you work in another
market, Kimberly says it's simple she loved thr city
and she loves the station.

Born Kimberly Kaye Tomlinson in the steel mill city of
Gary, Indiana, no one knew that this quiet, shy young
girl would grow up to be a radio personality. The
family moved to Jackson, Tn where her mom was
born.
While heading to Miami to major in Communications,
Kimberly's the main focus was to be heard in the city
of Miami. Of course, no one was going to hire
someone fresh out of college. So, the job search was
on.Kimberly was disappointed when she heard the
word no at every turn. Yet, she soon realized the
reason she didn't get hired was because the Lord had
a plan. Kimberly didn't know at the time she was
pregnant with her beautiful daughter Franchesca and
coming back home was a blessing in disguise.

Kimberly has since been nominated for Billboard
personality of the year. In addition, she has done
many speaking engagements at various churches,
hosted many talent shows, hair shows, concerts,
block parties, and fund raisers. She works closely with
the Carl Perkins Prevention Of Child Abuse, American
Cancer Society, and Voters Registration.Kimberly has
interviewed many celebs from Russell Simmons to Ne
Ne Leakes and she has conducted some serious
interviews with the late Rodney King. To Kimberly the
best part of coming to work everyday are her coworkers because they are truly her family.
In 2004, Kimberly created her feature "Author Of The
Week" segment. because she wanted to share her love
of reading with her audience and help people who
normally don't pick up a book get a chance to love and
find that reading is really cool.
