Hi Chris, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today.
Hey there, I’m Chris Smith, also known as 2Benjii. A proud Atlantan and the first in my family to graduate from college, I hold a degree in Mass Communication from Savannah State University. It was during my time at SSU that my passion for radio blossomed, leading me to excel as a radio personality and director advisor at WSSU 104.1 FM SSU Radio. As the president of Way of Real Discovery and a member of the Student Orientation Organization, I honed my creative and leadership skills. 

Post-graduation, I delved into the professional realm as a producer for the renowned “Rashad Richey Morning Show” at News and Talk 1380 WAOK, where I now serve as the Senior Producer. Additionally, I produce “People, Passion & Politics” with Attorney Robert Patillo and “Good Vibes” with DJMs. Ecleptic, juggling multiple roles, I also serve as the program director for “Creating Creative Creatives” at RaineyDayFund nonprofit and hold the position of Director of Information Technology at All Things Relevant Media. 

Beyond my professional commitments, I am the creative force behind 2Benjii Ent, a creative agency providing resources and opportunities for budding talents. My passion for nurturing creativity and reshaping the media landscape shines through in all my endeavors. 

Join me as I continue to push boundaries and redefine media creativity. Welcome to the world of Chris Smith, where innovation knows no bounds.

Amidst growth, shedding the weight of others’ opinions is vital in my industry. Balancing valuable feedback from audiences with personal integrity is a delicate dance.
