K. Foxx is the doing her thing as talent on Miami’s 103.5 The Beat, part of iHeart media’s family of networks.

Foxx got her start at WQOK in Raleigh, North Carolina, moved to Miami and actually hosted a radio show with DJ Khaled.

In between her busy schedule, the New York native chatted with me on Scoop B Radio about her journey.

Being in the south, ya gotta wonder:  does K. Foxx miss New York?  “I miss New York for the energy,” K. Foxx told me on Scoop B Radio.

K.Foxx added:

“You know, culturally I grew up as an arts baby. So I was acting and dancing and singing and I love it for that, you know what I mean? But then as I got older and I moved to North Carolina I kinda calmed down; the new Yorker in me, the rage in me calmed down. And then I was able to sleep in silence, as opposed to thinking that people were coming to get me when it was quiet outside. So I’m like: ‘okay this is cool I like fresh air.’ I like getting in the car and driving now, as opposed to just hopping on the train, you know with all types of stuff that could pop off in any second. But I miss new York for the culture and for the hustle attitude, the nonstop. But then I also like my quality of life in Miami, I like waking up to the ocean.”

Sounds like she’s living good, made the right decision, a businees decision and she’s blessed!

The New York Metropolitan area was infused with happenings yesterday. The Puerto Rican Day Parade was a hit during the day in midtown Manhattan, Hot 97’s Summer Jam was the place to be in the early evening at Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. But, the late night belonged to Melky Jean and her Carma Foundation in Manhattan’s West Village. 

The Grammy-nominated songwriter and sister of musician Wyclef Jean, not only celebrated her birthday, but she also celebrated the ten year anniversary of her non- profit and it’s Gemini’s Give Back event at Invite Only nightclub. 

Long before the Haiti Earthquakes in 2010, Carma has been addressing the needs of Haitian people. Geminis Give Back is always a highly anticipated event which has garnered the support of various celebrities such as Anderson Cooper, John Legend, Patti Labelle, Ashley Graham, Hill Harper, Vivica Fox and Lynn Whitfield.

“It was surreal,” Melky Jean told me via text message. “A dream come true.”

While on the red carpet, the political strategist took her obligatory photos with award in hand, expressed her ‘thank you’s,’ but declined interviews despite accepting such a prestigious award.  “I can’t do interviews unless you arrange it through the White House,” she told me.

“I know that sounds weird.”
