DJ Pope Black’s DJ career started in the summer of 1984 at 90.9 WQFS in Greensboro NC at the age of 15. He had heard that the local college radio station at Guildford College was training ANYONE who asked how to be a DJ and run the equipment. As a young punk/goth, he played such albums from the radio station library such as Christian Death, The Dead Kennedys, Slayer, and many others. He went on to DJ at local bars, nightclubs, festivals and at WUAG 103 FM radio at UNC-Greensboro.
