For 32 years I enjoyed a career in radio. In 2000 I left Chicago to help start the satellite radio revolution and created XM 70 Real Jazz the first coast-to-coast Jazz channel on XM Satellite Radio. As a result, Jazz fans can hear the best in Classic Jazz across the United States, Canada and worldwide on online.  Beginning 2001, I produced the popular "In The Swing Seat with Wynton Marsalis" feature and until June 2007 when I relocated to Nashville, TN and formed MyrickMedia.Com, I lived in Harlem and broadcast from Jazz At Lincoln Center. In my career I am fortunate to have received every award imaginable including (Marconi, Billboard, Impact, Gavin, Black Radio Exclusive, MRMA, NBPA, IAJE, Radio Ink, Radio & Records, Jazz Times) but I am most blessed to have four wonderful children, a great family and lifelong friends.
