Q. Thanks for Interviewing with us. Tell everyone who you are and where you’re from? A. I’m Audley “Fly Guy DC” Feemster, I’m a prominent figure in the Southeastern region especially within Atlanta I’m a radio personality/ event host/brand ambassador/ youth influencer. I’m originally from Washington, D.C. but have been in Georgia since 2007. Q. How did you get the name Fly Guy DC and the meaning behind the name? A. Fly Guy DC started off as SuchaFlyGuyDC. When I first moved to Georgia my high school peers, neighborhood and teammates coined me with DC because I was from Washington, D.C. and they use to always call me fly or fly guy because of the way I dressed. In 2007 being from up north my style was different from the rest and it made me stand out from my peers. As I got more comfortable in GA I ventured into the social scene & entertainment industry. SuchaFlyGuyDC was my social media handle and host name and as I progressed, I outgrew the Sucha part because it sounded kiddy and childish, so I dropped the Sucha and just became Fly Guy DC. Q. Tell us about your experience as a host and how you changed the game in Atlanta?

A. My hosting experience as a host has been remarkable. I came up in the industry with no mentor and no one teaching me the game. I had to find my way and maneuver best for me. As I created my brand I stood out with my distinctive voice and changed the hosting game in Atlanta. Hosting wasn’t a thing as prominent unless you were a DJ. I bring about an insane dynamic to the event especially because I control the crowd, I’ve changed the game tremendously based on how creative I am, the energy I bring to a party, the vibes I bring. I’ve learned to master the craft of hosting & I understand the party is not about me and other hosts don’t understand that. As a host, I am in high demand hosting 5/6 hosting gigs in one day, or just in general at night it’s crazy. I’ve been told by all the OG’s and people in the industry that they have never seen one like me before, so I know have/am changing the game. My goal is to always be 100 steps ahead of anybody in my field that calls themselves a host.
