Terrell Jackson, otherwise known as DJ VerbalKlint, kicks it off at 8 a.m. He told Clarksville Now he’s been a DJ ever since he was an adolescent, and he began mixing back in 1984.

“I was the young person at your aunt’s fish fry or barbeque, playing the music for others,” Jackson said. Throughout his years, Jackson has adopted new styles from house music to R&B, down South, and more. “What makes me unique is I mix a little bit of everything,” he said. “I can go from Elton John to Lil Jon in a matter of moments.”

Jackson moved to Fort Campbell in 1994, and since then has learned how to use his skills to tell a story. “My goal is to make the listener go, ‘Oh I remember when I was in high school when that song came out’ or ‘Oh, I remember what I was doing when I first heard this song.’” With a story to tell through his music, and favorite artists like Duran Duran, The Police and Public Enemy, Jackson will keep your memories flowing.

Listen to DJ VerbalKlint every weekday morning at 8am for the Wake-Up Mix.
