Khia K-SwiftDanielle Edgerton, was born on October 19, 1978 in Baltimore, Maryland. She is one of two daughters born to Juanita Peaches Davis Edgerton and Joseph Danny Edgerton Jr. On Monday, July 21, 2008 God sent His angel to Khia and gentle carried her home. Khia was an extraordinary young lady who saw good in everything and everyone. As a infant, her parents dedicated Khia's life to Christ at Lendenhall Baptist Church. For much of her childhood, she attended City Temple Baptist Churcdh. In 2007, she made the conscious decision to rededicated her life to the Lord and was baptized. In doing so, she joined six generations of her family as a member of the Historic Leadenhall Baptist Church in South Baltimore. Khia was educated in the Baltimore County Public Schools, attending Winand Elementary School, Old Court Middleton School, and Randallstown High School. She also attended Baltimore Community College at Catonsville. At age 11 she began Djing and embarked on the journey of her lifetime. She continued her journey while a student at Randallstown High School. With her mother's encouragement, she navigated her way into a male-dominated, fast-paced industry. In her professional circle, shw was deemed unique, tenacious and stoppable. Her career goals were to tour with a major artist and excel at being an entrepreneur. When asked about influences on her career, she gave credit to CoCo Channel and Jazzy Joyce, along with her father who had an immense for music. At the age 18, she was offered an internship at Radio One of Baltimore, WERQ 92Q Jams and the Baltimore community was introduced to "DJ K-Swift". That later became known as The Clun Queen K- Swift. That same year, she began producing shows for the station, the first being "The Mark Young Show", following by "The Neke @ Night Show". Two years later, she was hired part-time and officially became the first female DJ at 92Q. She began DJing for a show that she and on air personality, NeKe Howse, produced which was called "Ladies Night". When that show became a big hit, she became an on-air personality and was presented with an opportunity to mix for the "Big Fat Morning Show." After earning full-time status at the station, she began taking over the night show from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. with her co-host Reggie-Reg. The show became the number one night show in Baltimore. As changes were made at the station, she remained as the late night DJ and at the time of her death was co-hosting the show with Squirrel Wyde. While in motion to pursue her dreams, Khia flew under the wings of Shawn Caesar at Unruly Productions and became a client signing onto Unruly Records. Within four years K-Swift released a series of 14 "Jump Off" edition CD's through Unruly Records making her the face of Baltimore Club Music. She was also CEO of Club Queen Entertainment, a production and management company. Many would say that her successful music career was not just a career, it was her destiny. Her love for what she was doing and her caring and outgoing personality endeared her to all of her fans. Her fans supported her in all of her ventures.
