Charles Hyatt II



Charles Hyatt II

Charles Hyatt Jr. Has spent his life thinking about one thing, people. He has spent that life trying to make sure that people are able to reach their highest potential at every chance available. Weather working with local disk jockey in DC/MD to create the areas number one sound system “Delta Force” or inspiring children and young adults to think and act on making the best out of life, he has always put his energy in enhancing others lives.

While attending Lincoln University in Pennsylvania Charles helped pioneer the first all reggae radio program on the university’s radio station and maintained it until he graduated.  His radio experience stems from Pennsylvania’s WLIU 88.7 FM to DC’s WMET 1160AM. Both these shows showcased the Caribbean culture in colorfully positive ways which intrigued many who had it as the only way to know the region.

In 2003 Charles teamed with DJ Baby Ace to launch Baby Ace Radio, an internet based radio station built on the vibes of Dancehall, Hip Hop, and R&B. With remixing, juggling sessions, and interviews of the industry’s stalwarts, Charles, or “SKS” as he is known by listeners, had the main goal of exposing the world to the new and ‘Gold’ sounds of Jamaica. His staple program while on Baby Ace Radio was “Upcoming Artists” where he showcased the talents of young artists in order to get them airplay and a chance to become a household name.

He has also tried his hand at many other professions such as comedian, counselor, actor, salesman, IT professional, janitor, and non-profit owner, to name a few. He decided to stick with IT and has gained a Masters of Science in Management Information Systems, which has, in over 20 years, fostered the ability to work on three continents in that capacity.

Charles’ latest projects, are:

1. “Charles Hyatt Foundation”, https://charleshyatt.org which was founded in 2009, and is based on the passions of both himself and his father Charles Hyatt Sr. The foundation is a non-profit organization geared toward the sustainable professional development of youth and cultural preservation. This is done through introducing, nurturing, and supporting the youths desire to become positive, successful, professionals and by supporting the Jamaican cultural arts. To date, the foundation has completed projects with the Alpha Boys School and Nannyville Basic School, and currently doing empowerment projects at Boys Town All Age School, in Trench Town. These project have been focused on the two areas of importance for the foundation as mentioned before.
2. Charles has followed a passion for positivity and has created “Good News Jamaica” which highlights all things POSITIVE about Jamaica. From good things happening in Jamaican communities, acts of kindness experienced in Jamaica to positive memories of Jamaica. Good News Jamaica want to know about Jamaicans in all over the world that deserve a “Big Up” for the positive people they are.
