A radio vet for 13+ years, Fillmoe Mike first came to 106.1 KMEL as a wide-eyed street team member who was eager to learn. Being from the Fillmore District of San Francisco, Mike was known as โBig Mikeโ, but KMEL already had a guy that used that name. Mike couldnโt think of anything until DJ Tone Def and Rube said, โyou know what, weโre going to name you 'Fillmoe Mike' because youโre always repping The Fillmoe and we can tell that you love your hoodโ. Fillmoe Mike thanks Tone and Rube for giving him that name because he felt that he wasnโt confident enough to name himself, but knows that it works and people react to it.
Going from a street teamer to van driver to on-air talent in just a couple years, Fillmoe Mike quickly established himself as a listenerโs favorite for being original and always reminding listeners to โWash their Backsโ.
Fillmoe Mike has done everything in radio except program music. Fillmoe Mike says โI truly have a passion for radio. I love it. I love musicโ. After leaving KMEL, Fillmoe Mike has also worked with KBLX, Q102, 95.7 the Game, and is now back to KMELโฆ where it all started.
