Jordan Teklay

I am a loud mouth, opinionated, in-your-face, loving, black 17-year-old. I was born September 22, 1990 at Sutter Memorial Hospital in Sacramento, CA at approximately 5:20 pm. It’s been said that I was always loud and dominant as a child, but I use that strength for radio. My dream is to go to Syracuse University and major in communications there. Anyways, down to the point, I love radio and I’m on a mission to be one of the best who has ever done it. What can I say, I go hard. And that’s all.

Radio Rookies 10 Year Anniversary: Where Are They Now?

Sunday, November 15, 2009

In honor of Radio Rookies 10 year anniversary, another "where are they now?" update from a former Radio Rookie. Jordan Teklay was the first teenager to ever come to the program with a passion for radio already instilled. In fact, Jordan loved radio so much, at 15 he became legally emancipated from his parents and moved on his own from California to New York to try to make it as the next shock jock. He finished his Radio Rookies story three years ago and since then he’s been doing everything possible to get back on the air, like spending hours refining and sending out audition tapes.
