Intern, Hot 102.7
Whether you know her as Shadia Ball or by her public moniker,
“Shadi-B,” you know that Ms. Ball isn’t standing still for anything. As
a summer intern at Detroit’s Hot 102.7 radio station, Ball has been
involved with numerous promotions from release parties and concerts to
station-sponsored youth events. She has even promoted parties for NFL
defensive back, Chris Roberson. When queried about how she got into
promotions, she replied, “I met [local promoter] ‘T-Woods’ by chance
one evening, and he asked me if I promoted release parties and public
appearances. I told him, ‘No, but I will.’ Since then, the she has kept
herself busy by promoting the hottest parties in Detroit and creating a
reputation in Detroit’s nightclub scene.
Although she is
successful in promotions, her true passion lies elsewhere. “Media
broadcasting is my passion, and my dream is to work in any form of
on-air media as the talent director or producer,” she says.
When not studying communications at Oakland University in Rochester,
Mich., this striking beauty shadows Hot 102.7 radio personality, Spudd.
She is grateful for the opportunity to build relationships and network
within the industry. “I get to do what I love to do because I’ve been
afforded the opportunity by some really great people,” Ball explains.
“Kebina Young gave me the opportunity to work in promotions, and I
thank her for that wonderful exposure.” – delgie jones II
