Reggie Reg

Reggie Reg, who had worked at Baltimore radio station 92Q and was a well known disc jockey on the city's club music scene, died Saturday evening at St. Agnes Hospital.

He was 50, according to The Baltimore Sun.

His sister said that he had been in declining health and died of congestive heart failure.


Mayor Stephanie Rawlings Blake said in a statement. "I was terribly saddened to hear of Reggie's passing. He was one of the best DJs of my generation, with a personality bigger than life. He will definitely be missed."

Former Mayor Sheila Dixon, wrote on her campaign page, "Reggie was a pioneer in Baltimore radio and paved the way for many who came after him."

Friends said he was well established in the city's club music scene by the time he joined the staff of 92-Q radio, also known as WERQ 92.3 FM, as a disc jockey in the mid-1990s. He remained on the air for a decade.

"I met Reggie about 1984 when he was an up-and-coming DJ," said Frank "Ski" Rodriguez, a radio and television personality. "He was kinda finding his space, and Reggie hung out with everybody. He hung out at beauty shops and at record stores. Everybody gravitated to him."
