A radio vet for 13+ years, Fillmoe Mike first came to 106.1 KMEL as a wide-eyed street team member who was eager to learn. Being from the Fillmore District of San Francisco, Mike was known as βBig Mikeβ, but KMEL already had a guy that used that name. Mike couldnβt think of anything until DJ Tone Def and Rube said, βyou know what, weβre going to name you 'Fillmoe Mike' because youβre always repping The Fillmoe and we can tell that you love your hoodβ. Fillmoe Mike thanks Tone and Rube for giving him that name because he felt that he wasnβt confident enough to name himself, but knows that it works and people react to it.
Going from a street teamer to van driver to on-air talent in just a couple years, Fillmoe Mike quickly established himself as a listenerβs favorite for being original and always reminding listeners to βWash their Backsβ.
Fillmoe Mike has done everything in radio except program music. Fillmoe Mike says βI truly have a passion for radio. I love it. I love musicβ. After leaving KMEL, Fillmoe Mike has also worked with KBLX, Q102, 95.7 the Game, and is now back to KMELβ¦ where it all started.
