JoJo Kincaid
JoJo Kincaid (born Joe Folsom in Gainesville, Florida) is a radio disc jockey who worked nights at WSGN-AM in 1972-73.
Kincaid grew up in Florida and played guitar, keyboards and drums in local rock bands such as Uncle Funnel and The Push. He also operated a pirate radio station from his bedroom which was shut down by the Federal Communications Commission. He began working part time at WGGG-AM in Gainesville when he was 17 and became full-time after graduating. Within a year he was hired as music director for WDAT-AM in Daytona Beach. At the age of 19 he was program director and morning host at WWKE-AM in Ocala/Silver Springs.
After leaving WWKE, Kincaid worked briefly in Miami before coming to Birmingham to work at WSGN and adopting the short-lived on-air name of Amaysa Kincaid. He tutored fellow DJ Jon Anthony there. After upstart Top 40 competitor WERC-AM hired Scott Shannon as a consultant and afternoon drive host, Shannon and Kincaid had a memorable on-air feud. After leaving Birmingham, Kincaid went on to work in most of the top radio markets in the United States, including Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Dallas, Detroit, San Diego, Boston and San Francisco before he returned to Florida. Since 2008 he was worked for a variety of stations in the Tampa Bay area.
In October 2010 radio personality Howard Stern spent a full segment fawning over Kincaid's radio skills based on a 1987 video aircheck from KKLQ-FM he saw on YouTube.
