The J-Bird got his start as a DJ by filling any show he could in his time as an undergrad at UNH. Formerly the production director of WUNH from 2017-2018, he hosted an eclectic afternoon general programming show with a rotating weekly theme; as well as an evening specialty show dedicated to live albums. Now graduated and living back in the Boston area, "J-Bird Stays Alive" by DJ-ing whenever he can get some free time.

Expect new releases from underrepresented artists as well as deep cuts from bigger names, with plenty of other musical discoveries sprinkled in. The theme and genre changes weekly, so you never know where the J-Bird may take you.
