Mathew Myers has shown in a short time that with his distinct voice and commitment to radio that he definitely belongs. Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, Mathew grew up listening to the local R&B station, WZAK, and dreamed to one day be a part of this iconic station. He has shown that through hard work and perseverance that dreams do come true.
Mathew attended the Ohio Center for Broadcasting where he excelled as a student and earned his first on air job as host of the school’s Beonair.com internet Rock station. During his time in broadcasting school, Mathew began an internship with Radio One Cleveland where he began to display his extreme work ethic and voice talents to everyone he would encounter. These actions led to Radio One hiring Mathew shortly after him finishing school.
In time, Mathew began his On Air career with 93.1 WZAK first by filling in on the weekends and then eventually was named Co-host & Producer of the Sunday morning program Access Cleveland. Mathew’s passion for radio led him to reach out for more responsibilities. He was rewarded by management with a promotion to Music Director for WZAK. Mathew continued to make a positive impact on upper management and Mathew soon reached out for even more responsibilities, so when the Assistant Program Director position became available with WXMG he jumped at the chance. With these new duties, Mathew strives to do all he can to entertain, engage, and give back to the Columbus community.
Mike Epps, T.I. and Queen Latifah have found the perfect project for them to work together, and it’s in the form of a buddy comedy titled The Trap. With the two male stars as the leads and the Queen handling the producing, this could be the start of a hilarious and profitable partnership.
Industry insider The Hollywood Reporter has all of the exclusive details about The Trap, its stars and when the project expects to begin shooting.
Via The Hollywood Reporter:
Mike Epps and Tip “T.I.” Harris are teaming up to star in “The Trap,” an indie comedy to be directed by Chris Robinson.
Queen Latifah and her Flavor Unit Entertainment partner Shakim Compere are producing with Epps and his partner at Naptown Productions, Niles Kirchner. Harris will produce under his Grand Hustle Films banner with his partner, Brian Sher. Robinson is also producing. The project is based on a story that Epps concocted with Nile Evans, with Evans writing the script.
“Trap” tells of a man (T.I.) who returns home to Atlanta after an extended absence to help save his brother (Epps) and mother’s run-down restaurant. An unexpected change to the chicken recipe breathes new life into the restaurant but also brings unexpected problems. The film will hopefully begin shooting this fall.
This could be pretty funny if everything comes together. It’s also nice to see Mike Epps bounce back so quickly after his series Uncle Buck was cancelled after just one season this past summer.
