Q. Thanks for Interviewing with us. Tell everyone who you are and where you’re from?
A. I’m Audley “Fly Guy DC” Feemster, I’m a prominent figure in the Southeastern region especially within Atlanta I’m a radio personality/ event host/brand ambassador/ youth influencer. I’m originally from Washington, D.C. but have been in Georgia since 2007.
Q. How did you get the name Fly Guy DC and the meaning behind the name?
A. Fly Guy DC started off as SuchaFlyGuyDC. When I first moved to Georgia my high school peers, neighborhood and teammates coined me with DC because I was from Washington, D.C. and they use to always call me fly or fly guy because of the way I dressed. In 2007 being from up north my style was different from the rest and it made me stand out from my peers. As I got more comfortable in GA I ventured into the social scene & entertainment industry. SuchaFlyGuyDC was my social media handle and host name and as I progressed, I outgrew the Sucha part because it sounded kiddy and childish, so I dropped the Sucha and just became Fly Guy DC.
Q. Tell us about your experience as a host and how you changed the game in Atlanta?
A. My hosting experience as a host has been remarkable. I came up in the industry with no mentor and no one teaching me the game. I had to find my way and maneuver best for me. As I created my brand I stood out with my distinctive voice and changed the hosting game in Atlanta. Hosting wasn’t a thing as prominent unless you were a DJ. I bring about an insane dynamic to the event especially because I control the crowd, I’ve changed the game tremendously based on how creative I am, the energy I bring to a party, the vibes I bring. I’ve learned to master the craft of hosting & I understand the party is not about me and other hosts don’t understand that. As a host, I am in high demand hosting 5/6 hosting gigs in one day, or just in general at night it’s crazy. I’ve been told by all the OG’s and people in the industry that they have never seen one like me before, so I know have/am changing the game. My goal is to always be 100 steps ahead of anybody in my field that calls themselves a host.
Q. What have been one of your biggest accomplishments being on Streetz 94.5?
A. One of my greatest accomplishments is being part ofStreetz 94.5 FM Atlanta as a radio personality. I am one of the youngest radio personalities to have a night show in a Top 10 market as well as being consistently ranked in the Top 10 since obtaining the show in 2017. When I came on to Streetz as a rookie, I was part of DJ Holiday’s Show and a year later I was able to hold my own show alongside my co-host Ferrari Simmons. It’s been a blessing being able to team up with Rari as he has become my big bro through this and an amazing co-host to work alongside. Honestly, the rest is history we’re still rocking the airwaves Monday through Friday 6 to 10 PM EST.
Q. Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?
A. Mmm ....5 years, in 5 years I see myself being one of the biggest radio personalities in the world, one of the most significant television hosts to change the culture. All falls into place I will have a fiancé and maybe just maybe one kid lol but living life not just existing and wishing for change but being the change.
Q. Who or What inspired you to be the man you are today?
A. Growing up in a single-parent home seeing my mom raised 5 kids basically by herself and me being the oldest and father figure gave me all the ammo I needed as a role model and to chase my dreams. I have always been a go-getter and always told myself I have to set an example and be the flagship for my younger siblings Danny, Marlayshia, Kamari, & Kamarjah. My ambition drives me daily, I’m a hard workerand I never settled.
Q. I see that you are a Fortune500 Brand Influencerhowhas that experience been?
A. As a Fortune 500 brand influencer has been phenomenal/ magnificent/incredible / it’s really been mind-blowing. I’ve worked with so many companies and it feels amazing because my hard work and dedication to my craft and my brand is paying off. I have had the opportunity to work with Footaction (my first ever influencer opportunity), AT&T, Reebok, Adidas, Fresh Empire, Rap Plug, and many others.
Q. What projects are you working on?
A. I have so much stuff I’m working on currently one of my newest ventures during quarantine has been Isolation Insider an interactive one-on-one curated interview experience for top talent hosted by me. Isolation Insiderliterally came together in a week's time and something I'm trulyproud of! The purposewastodriveintoin-depth conversationswith talentand get thosereallygrittyunfiltered answers abouttheirlife, career, and whatever theywanted totalkabout. Another venturehasbeen Storytime, a sit down with me talking about all and everything from my personal to professional life. During this time, I have also been perfecting my craft as a radio personality, preparing for my transition into television, my new apparel line and just becoming a better person all around.
Q. How do you feel about everything that is going on with Covid-19 and protesting?
A. The COVID-19 situation has been insane and sometimes it makes sense to me and sometimes it doesn’t I don’t understand a lot of things when it comes to it. I do feel the virus is real, but some things just do not make sense to me. The protesting I am all for, I actually went and led a peaceful protest myself with my radio co-host Ferrari Simmons, DJ Holiday, The Commission, Chubbie, Stix Malone, Shon brown, and many other African American males in Atlanta who have a powerful voice within the community. I feel it is important to stand for something, important to speak our truths and important to speak for those who can’t. Having a platform, I like to use it positively at all costs. Fighting injustice is important to me because I am someone who is impacted by it being black, being a man and even having a platform can put a target on your back, however, I just want to be part of the change however I can and see it through especially amongst the streets I’m involved in on a daily.
