DJ Kevin Hayes
What's going on good people! DJ Kevin Hayes here and yes I am actually a dj. I have been doing it for about 8 years now and love doing weddings and parties. I am native of Chattanooga and I love living in the Scenic City.
When I am not working I enjoy going to the gym, hiking, going to church, traveling with my wife and spending time with my family. I have worked for Hits since 2007. Since then I have had the pleasure of meeting some pretty cool artist including: Bebe Rexha, Maroon 5, Boys Like Girls, AJR, Hot Chelle Rae, Flo Rida and a few others.
Some of my favorite foods include Japanese (shout out to all the Hibachi Chefs), Burgers (how can you not love a juicy burger with bacon), Pizza and of course anything my wife cooks.
If you wish to follow me (which I hope you do) you can do so on Instagram at DJKev3030 or on X (the social media platform formally known as Twitter) @Kevinontheradio. Thanks for stopping by and Stay Blessed!
