Jazzi Black is an American radio personality known for hosting 'The Kickback w/ Jazzi Black' on 97.9 the Beat in Dallas, TX. Her crazy, sexy, cool, personality has helped her share the stories of some of the biggest names in Hollywood like Daryl "D.M.C." McDaniels, H.E.R., Questlove from The Roots, and Keke Palmer just to name a few.
Her passion for philanthropy involves promoting environmental advocacy and working hands on with organizations like Dallas United For Good and Myles Place Foundation.
After graduating, Jazzi became an entrepreneur working as a freelance cinematographer and drone pilot. This experience aligned her first job as the Sr.Digital Content Producer for Reach Media and Radio One Dallas in 2017. During this time, she worked closely with the Tom Joyner Foundation, Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell, Russ Parr Morning Show, and the D.L.Hughley Show.
Within 5 months, she was given the opportunity to co-host a morning show with Dallas radio vets Veda Loca, J-Kruz, and DJ Kayotik. At 25, Jazzi became one of the youngest morning radio show hosts in the U.S. The group went on to land a deal with The CW, and had a simultaneous Radio/TV show, 'The Beat on 33'. In 2018, Jazzi was honored as the 'Rising Star' of DFW at the Alliance for Women in Media Awards.
When the morning show ended in 2020, Jazzi returned to cinematography and went on tour with Afrobeats star Davido. Travel was banned when the pandemic hit in March 2020, but she got a chance to work for Dr. Cornell West & Prof.Tricia Rose's Tightrope Podcast and be a Creative Director alongside Erykah Badu.
In 2021, she returned to radio and can be heard weekdays from 9a-3p and Saturdays 12p-3p on 97.9 the Beat.
