On-Air Personality

Kori Blaze is the voice you hear when the city goes quiet but the heart still beats to slow jams and whispered promises. She has a natural ability to make every listener feel like she’s talking just to them — whether she’s dedicating a love song, telling a late-night story, or dropping subtle, flirty commentary between tracks.

Her vibe is ghetto fabulous meets island queen: she can glide from a seductive R&B intro to a sharp-witted clapback in the same breath. Always confident, never rushed, she draws you in like a moth to a candle.

Background

Raised in the heart of Southside Jamaica, Queens, Kori grew up on a steady diet of reggae classics, 90s slow jams, and hip-hop soul. Her mom spun records at local Caribbean events, and her uncle was a radio engineer — so she learned early how music could control a room’s mood.

By 16, she was DJing small lounges. By 21, she was voicing hooks for underground R&B artists. Now at 27, she’s carved her niche as a late-night mood-setter, turning the graveyard shift into the most intimate hours of the day.

Kori mixes R&B classics with deep cuts, sprinkling in her own “K-Blaze Confessions” — short, sultry stories or personal moments that keep listeners hooked. She’ll flirt, tease, and even play matchmaker between callers.

Expect her to:

• Drop slow burns from Sade, D’Angelo, and Anita Baker.
• Slip in a few Jamaican lovers rock cuts.
• Dedicate songs live to late-night callers.
• Share little “secrets” about her day that feel like pillow talk.

Signature Catchphrases

• “It’s your girl Blaze Baby, and I’m here to keep your night warm.”
• “Queens raised me, Jamaica made me… now let me make your night.”
• “If it’s past midnight, you’re mine.”
