Garrett Jones

By Cody Booth

Garrett Jones, Dallas Junior, is a self-described “fly guy,” which basically means he can sing and he can dress. He also said that getting him self-ready is a job itself.

One of the things he would like to do when he graduates is to have his own national syndicated radio show. Some of radio DJs he reference are Steve Harvey and Rick Smiley.

Jones also said he would like to do late night radio. Jones said, “I’ve got that good late night voice. I’m all about slow jams…” As far as the format he wants to do, he described his show is similar to Key Sway, where every hour there is something different. Also Key Sway has his own station I.D. Jones said “ He keeps it entertaining so listeners won’t get bored.”

Garrett comes from a family of six. He has two half sisters that are in their 40’s and a sister in her teens. He went to Lincoln High School where he played baritone in the band.

He also played football, baseball and golf. In football he was a defensive tackle on both sides. He played first base in baseball. He also sang in the choir.

He said that he gets his street smarts from his dad, and that his family is all about singing and style.
