DeWayne Alston, a Baltimore native, is a poet, writer, and of course, a music lover. He is the founder and co-host of Soul City Radio.

He is a published writer with two poetry compilations currently on the market. He also writes a technology column for RazorsEdge Magazine.The idea that he might someday become a radio personality began during his days at University of Maryland Eastern Shore. He tried to get a job at the campus radio station, but wasn't allowed to since he wasn't a communications major.

Fast forward to November 2008, when he was introduced to Blogtalkradio. A few months later, Soul City was born and a dream came to fruition. Soul City strives to make a connection with listeners through feel-good music, encompassing everything from rock to rap.

"I've always had a love for music. I can expressly remember my mother listening to her favorite Temptations album, Live from the Apollo, over and over again. I don't think I can remember a time when music wasn't a part of my life ... whether it was my father and my uncles playing the classics, or even my oldest brother, who played a lot of rock Õn roll. Music is embedded in my DNA."
