The entertainment industry is all about who you know and how hard you’re willing to work to get known. It’s called networking; an art that transforms into a sport once it’s mastered, only to grow more intense in competition as you start to make your way.

Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, Jerzy began his radio career being on-air in a top three market at the age of 21, making him one of the station's youngest on-air personalities. His early accomplishments didn't come overnight, nor do they complete even a tenth of his to-do list. Yet they say a lot about who he is, where he's been, and where he's going.

His passion for music began before the days of CDs (and gasp- iPods); back when Jerzy would hold the mic of a Casio recorder up to a boom box to tape-record dj mixes. After years of going to concerts, listening to hip-hop, browsing record shops for vinyl, and mobile DJ'ing, his innate desire to be in music consumed him.

Jerzy joined the Chicago nightlife scene back when he was still considered to be jail bait, sneaking into clubs, hosting and promoting for various parties. Jerzy signed on as the baby of a promotions crew and quickly learned how to balance the demands of his freshman year in college with the chaos of touring clubs and campuses around the Midwest.

While promoting Jerzy was introduced to key players at one of Chicago’s top radio stations, B96. With his foot in the door, he began interning during his sophomore year, which then led to a consecutive internship for the launch of the Stylz and Roman night show.

The Cinderella story continued that same year after months of demo shopping when Jerzy was given the opportunity to fill in for his first on-air shift on radio—let alone on B96. Currently Jerzy is on-air every weeknight from 7pm-12am and Saturdays from 6pm-10pm. His love for music doesn't stop there; you can also find him DJ'ing at some of Chicago's hottest clubs throughout the week.

There are a lot of layers to Jerzy, not just in his job descriptions, but in his character. Chances are if you are with him, he's learning something from you. Qualifying him as somewhat of a triple threat, his multi-faceted radio, production, and DJ titles are just the building blocks of a resume that reads like a portfolio of someone who has been in the business for decades.
