Ricky T. AKA The Chief Rocker
In 1982 the Chief met a couple of local DJ's from WHRW 90.5 (Binghamton University) and was asked to join them at the station to see what DJing was all about. After spending some time in the DJ chair he was hooked and started his DJ career soon after. Early 1983 the Chief started working with a good friend Reese T. and they started playing shows all over the Upstate NY area.
The very next year Ricky was vaulted into the "Club" scene and started spinning at variety of venues across upstate. Soon after being introduced to this new scene he met a man by the name of MJ Duke.
Duke booked him at the Vertical Club, brought him in, and introduced the Chief to house music. The Chief still remember his first House music 12"… JM Silk’s "I can’t turn around"
In 1988 WUCI 91.5 came to be and the Chief along with his friend C.A. Melldog were asked to produce their own show called "The Binghamton Hip Hop Explosion". It was at this time The Chief met Dose the Alien, an up and coming DJ/producer, and asked him to be a part of their growing radio show.
In early 1991 Ricky started working in the Mobile DJ industry with veteran Bobby K. As he continued to work in the industry Ricky decided to start his own DJ business in 1993, Ricky T. Entertainment, and he has been flourishing ever since.
In 2005 the Chief again crossed paths with Dose the Alien who again introduced some opportunities in the "club scene" as we know it today. Currently Ricky is working and producing music with some of the best talent in the Upstate NY, and out n about Rocking again.
