"LA old heads, anybody remember Theo on 92.3 the Beat in the 90's?"


          

The Asian brother with the deep voice that everybody though was black?

What ever happened to him?

Because I remember how big dude was.

And, I remember how shocked we were at the big reveal.

And now? Its as if he never existed.

I think he did some acting from what I remember. boston public maybe.

Also, was the beat that had that show on Sundays called Street Science with Dominque Duprima? - I remember the spoken word opening - something something "get pissed enough to missed the bus....fisticuffs"

In the mailroom. Everyone else was black and they all called him Theo

Pretty much the whole company called him that, including people who didn't know who Theo was

But I had no idea people outside of LA knew who he was

We all knew he as Japanese American.

Good mixer, but his on air personality was cringe.. Extra smooth and sultry lol. Then again, there was a white dude on KMEL with the same swag.. Evan Luck. That whole effeminate whispering thing was corny.

After he left the Beat I heard he was going up there and also that he was going to be on KDEY in LA at one point.

and did some googling.

Hes had a couple of radio stints but given his profile back then, he's done a great job of wiping his internet presence and seems like nobody really knows what hes doing now

was a parody of him (or at least that "style" of radio DJ) sans the " no hiphop ever" part

the overboard late night thirstrapping of teenage girls was hella creepy too

I dunno if that's true or not. He seemed to really hit a wall though around the time he started appearing publicly and putting his face out there though, so that makes some sense. He had gigs after the Beat switched dials/formats (it's now a hip hop station again and a really really shitty one at that) but they didn't last. I liked him, great voice and a fun attitude.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

people used to say he lost listeners when people found out he was asian but i always felt like it was more something people just repeated than reality.

maybe it hindered him after, but who knows. it's radio.

Wasn't he on an episode of Moesha or some shit?

I'm not saying he *definitely* lost ground because he was Japanese, but that did circulate around and the timing kinda supports it.

This is also a topic I haven't really visited in a long time lol

Also, back when when I was doing college radio, the dude before me was from LA and basically jacked Theo's whole steez. Even called his show "The Beat."
