Career
His first exposure to the Blues was as a child in his grandfather’s tobacco fields. While they walked bent over in the long, long rows of tobacco fields, Granddad’s help would sing work songs and field hollers. That’s when his interest in and enthusiasm for Blues music began. Cleve began his radio career at the age of 15 at WCBT-AM 1230 in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina. He was the CEO of CTB Talent LLC.
From that first day behind the Control Board and Microphone, with turntables spinning and the seductive scent of dust burning off the Tube Equipment in the Studio, he was bitten by the radio bug. He left the business for many years, opened a restaurant, worked in NASCAR’s Busch Series, was a Shift Supervisor in a Power Plant, owned a liquor store, and finally… returned to the career that was destined for him from the beginning.
