We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Ezron Benjamin. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Ezron below.
Ezron, appreciate you joining us today. If you’re open to it, can you talk to us about the best (or worst) investment you’ve made. What’s the backstory and the relevant context behind why you made the investment
The best investment I’ve made is called “Self-Investment.” For many years, I’ve invested my time, and resources into everything with hopes to getting to that level of success I’ve always dreamed off. But, the belief of relying of others to help you deliver your ideas in ways that will be beneficial to everyone involved, can be a very costly experience. Believing in yourself while understanding and visualizing the clear mission are some of the first steps needed in making the best investment decisions.
Winning more with less is highly possible.
Ezron, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
In 2001, Dj Ezzy B aka Ezzy began his career as a disc jockey in Brooklyn, New York. Possessing a humble, but aggressive and persistent desire to become successful he continues to provide an untouchable and unbeatable DJ service on many occasions. With over 18 years in the industry, Ezzy skillfully combines multiple genres of music without missing a beat. He is best known for his professionalism, versatility, and dependable and reliable service.
However, this was not enough. In December 2009, Ezzy formally launched his own company, Sound Xplosion Entertainment, LLC, with a desire to present himself and his service in a more professional manner. The company then began to provide its service to some largest organizations in Metro Atlanta. Later, Sound Xplosion Ent. became the parent company of a few other intriguing media platforms.
In February 2012, Ezzy was invited to join the then “WWWE Radio” 1100 AM as a radio disc jockey. He was also a former co-host on LOVE 860 AM; In 2010-2012, he hosted Caribbean Focus TV which aired on the Xfinity/Comcast Network before leaving to focus on his radio career. He rejoined the show in October 2015 which aired on the AIB TV network in the State of Georgia.
For many years, Ezzy was affiliated with multiple media outlets where he has inspired the growth of all of the platforms involved, by teaming up with organizations and local businesses; and creating a trend of live broadcasts in various communities, cities, and on the international level. However, by Spring 2013, Ezzy took his talent to another level by leading a group of radio personalities from different radio stations in the NYC tri-state area with a live broadcast from Nassau, Bahamas on a special promotional tour. Later that same year, he presented the opportunity to own his platform, 106 Live Radio, under the parent company of Sound Xplosion Entertainment, LLC. There he was able to bring more of his vision to light by helping the community through network opportunities and media. Ezzy also helped turn other dreams into realities by welcoming and teaching new hosts about their desire to become on-air personalities. Without any limits insight at that point, 106 Live Radio quietly grew to be heard in over 150 countries and over 4 million hits on its stream. Ezzy shows continued to make an impact with a diverse and unique approach, which attracted many celebrity guests. The list includes Mr. Killa (Grenada and 2019 Int’l Soca Monarch), Maurice Smith (Jamaican Olympian and Medalist), Lee Haney (8 times Mr. Olympia Champ & IFBB professional bodybuilder), Eshe from Arrested Development, Spragga Benz, Mr. Vegas, Chante Moore, Freddie Jackson, Tony Tone Toni, KCi & JoJo, Jahlil from Whodini, Stephanie Mills, Eric Benet, Maxi Priest, Mr. Kool (Kool & the Gang), just to name a few.
In 2014, he was saluted as one of the top 40 Grenadians for his efforts and contributions to the Diaspora by the New York-based Total Caribbean Network (TCN). In the same year, Ezzy held the position of “Director of Production” and was an on-air personality with WRCI – Power 102.1FM. During that same period, he hosted multiple weekly radio shows syndicated on other FM stations and online radio stations across the USA and internationally as far as Gambia and in his homeland, Grenada. In 2014, 2015, and 2018 Ezzy co-hosted the Grenada Day Festival, which is one of the largest and most well-attended events in Toronto, Canada. In April 2016, Ezzy hosted the first International Pure Grenada Music Festival (PGMF) in Grenada.
With a full plate at hand, Ezzy is also a Certified Life Safety Inspector, Internal Affairs Investigator, and host/creator of the Ezzy Spotlight Podcast. In 2019, he launched Ezzy Spotlight (a multi-media platform), that focuses on showcasing the hidden gems and more in our communities and beyond.

Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?
Absolutely! After six years as the Owner/Executive Director of 106 Live Radio, my experiences have prepared me to approach business, especially in the media/entertainment industry from a different perspective. A better understanding of people and having fewer expectations from them has resulted in pivoting to a brand that represents me, my hard work, and my passion for execution.
The Ezzy Spotlight brand is a multi-media platform that offers a variety of media/entertainment/digital production services.
What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?
My reputation was built as a result of the following: Be humbled, courteous, reliable, dependable, responsible, confident, professional, and consistent.
