Baltimore’s first streaming radio station for kids “Kinkx Kids Radio” will launch, noon to 4 p.m., Oct. 18, at the Hamilton-Lauraville Farmers’ Market Lot, 4500 Harford Road, Baltimore, Md. Guest speakers will be Deborah Phelps, educator, author, and mother of Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps, and former Harlem Globetrotter, Charles “Choo” Smith. Smith will perform his “Elevated by My Handles” presentation and give out autographed books. Musical guest will be Keon Myers, known as “Lil Key,” a 14 year-old inspirational rapper and a Baltimore City resident. Various children acts will perform in a talent showcase and vendors will be onsite to provide products and services to parents and kids.
Kinkx Kids Radio is the vision of Baltimore entrepreneur Angelique Redmond, owner of Kinkx Studio, a hair braiding studio for children ages 3–14 years old. While serving her clients, Mrs. Redmond conceived the idea of the station after realizing there was a lack of kid-friendly music on radio stations. “I would have to constantly change the stations to avoid the children from listening to or mocking derogatory or inappropriate language,” Redmond stated. As the leading kids streaming station in the Baltimore area, Kinkx Kids Radio aims to promote clean entertainment that uplifts, educates, and energizes children.
