About Us

I AM DJ EEyo the creator of Blazin' Reggae Vibes and I became aware of reggae music in 1979. Up until that time I mostly listened to soul and r&b music. That was the music I grew up with from preteen to teenage to adulthood. I was not aware of reggae music during this period of time. I was born in a rural cotton picking town in west Texas called Rule and my mother later moved us to Fort Worth, Texas. More about that when I write my bio.

It was in 1979 when I saw dreadlocks for the first time, I felt as if I had come in contact with a holy man. Albuquerque was becoming a hub where rasta's passed through quite often. There was a community spirit of reggae and Rastafari brethren and sistren taking place as I became more involved in the movement.

Through the efforts of a community of upful brethren and sistren, a proposal for a reggae program was submitted and approved by The University of New Mexico public radio station KUNM in 1982. A program slot was created for the Iyah Music Show every Friday at 1pm in the afternoon. At that time period it was 90.1 FM (It was later changed to 89.9 FM), Albuquerque, New Mexico. 

The hosts for the program have changed over the years. I am retired from public radio but conscious uplifting vibrations and the spiirt of reggae and all that it represents still runs through my veins. Blazin' Reggae Vibes was created in 2017 and here we are today.
