Exploring Life & Business with Malorie Stewart of Hot365radio

Today we’d like to introduce you to Malorie Stewart.

Hi Malorie, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My Journey: From STL to ATL Shaping the Culture
Growing up in St. Louis, entertainment was practically in my DNA—my dad’s side of the family owned a club, so I was around the energy, the music, and the nightlife from day one. My early life was full of twists and turns, and having my babies at 16 and 19 meant I had to grow up fast. But having children didn’t stop my vision; it only fueled my drive. I still had massive dreams, and I was determined to make them happen.
I started building my footprint back in high school by throwing parties. As I got older, those parties only got bigger. Because I was constantly putting on events and connecting with the city’s top DJs, artists naturally started coming to me for guidance, promotion, and direction.
Building the Empire
In 2018, things leveled up when I met my business partner, DJ 7Duece. Together, we launched our journey with Hot365 Radio, creating a platform that amplifies real talent. From there, my career exploded onto the national stage—I’ve been on tours with some of the biggest, most respected names in the music industry, seeing the business from every single angle.
By 2022, I co-founded the Hip Hop Fraternity alongside Pimping Ken, focusing heavily on artist development, putting on major shows, and giving rising talent the blueprint they need to succeed.
Making Dreams Come True
For me, it’s always been about community and bringing people together. Beyond the music, I’ve expanded into major entrepreneurial ventures—like helping open Paco Tacos—and continuing to work closely with powerhouses like DJ Kutt Throat and many other industry leaders.
At the end of the day, my passion is making people’s dreams come true and building platforms where creators can win. I couldn’t do any of this without the incredible people who hold me down, and I love my supporters deeply for riding with me every step of the way.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The Reality Behind the Hustle: Not a Smooth Road
It hasn’t been a smooth road at all—far from it. When people see the success, the tours, and the moves being made, they don’t always see the cost it took to get here.
The Sacrifices and Hard Days
Distance from Family: By far, the hardest part was being away from my kids while on the road for months at a time. Missing moments at home to secure the future was a heavy weight to carry.
The Behind-the-Scenes Struggles: People see the final product, but they don’t see the broke days, the bad days, or the endless sleepless nights where you’re running on pure willpower.
Navigating the Industry: Entertainment isn’t easy. Dealing with late-night demands and navigating weird, fake, or questionable people in the industry takes a heavy mental toll.
Why the Struggle Matters
Every single smooth surface you see today was built on rough ground. Those dark days and tough sacrifices didn’t break me—they sharpened my focus, proved my dedication to my family, and shaped me into the businesswoman I am today. If it were easy, everybody would do it. Every hurdle was just proof of how badly I wanted this.

Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
