Hypeman D.Stone

The Praise Mixdown is a high energy two-hour mixshow. Most stations play it on the weekends but some stations play it daily. This year we received a 2 page spread in the May edition of Ebony magazine. Dwight Stone, aka D. Stone was born in Toronto, Canada and now residing in St. Louis, MO, is a radio personality with a unique love for the business. His love affair with radio started in high school. His dream of a career in radio became a reality after his first year in Oakwood College in Huntsville, Alabama. From there he landed positions at 3 commercial radio stations. In 2001 he headed to St. Louis for an on air position at Clear Channel radio’s KATZ-FM, “100.3 The Beat.” While at 100.3 the Beat, D.Stone received #1 ratings for his primetime radio show. His on-air antics like “D.Stone Karaoke”, unscripted celebrities interviews, and fearlessness while live on location made listeners unaware on what he may do next. But D. Stone’s silliness could only be matched by his seriousness and his faith, which was always in the mix. He also received several honors for his “Beat the Streets” community talk-show and town hall meetings. More than a radio personality, Hypeman D.Stone is a community servant. He volunteers with several community groups, the St. Louis Dream Center, and serves as a youth leader at Friendly Temple Missionary Baptist church-St. Louis. His passion for ministry shifted his focus from local radio to national syndication. Along with his co-host P Dub, D.Stone produces “The Praise Mixdown” – a premiere syndicated gospel mix show - now reaching 100,000 people a week . Although music will always remain Dwight’s first love, his passion and commitment to make a difference in his community is truly what drives him.
