Who Is Shaun Gordon aka Shaun G?
Shaun Gordon also known as Shaun G is a radio personality and public figure who’s put in a lot of work over the years to get all the success he has now, but it wasn’t easy. Shaun was born in Patterson, New Jersey, and then moved to Wilmington, Delaware where he was raised until about 15 years old. In Wilmington, there was nothing but drugs and fights on every corner, at least in the parts where he lived near. At 15, he and his family moved to South Florida where they still reside, and it was in Florida where the opportunities came in.
Shaun began throwing parties at the age of 15, working his way up as a promoter on the party scene. He made major connections, one of them was DJ Yung Mal also known as Serato Kid, who is the CEO of Hit Factory Radio, the number one online radio station in Broward County. One day he asked me if I wanted to be a radio personality and the rest is history.
Shaun has been on the radio for 6 years now and has helped hundreds of artists grow and get to the next level. He also started his own clothing line called Letsbegr8t with his partner Henry Ojinmah also known as H2 Tha Great, who once told him, “We have to strive for greatness.” They started the company in 2021 and it is an officially trademarked company.
Shaun G exclaims, “I put in over 20 years of hard work in the entertainment industry and I’m just getting started.”

I base it on the music, the brand and audience, most artists who we interview are already established with their brand.
Are there any technical aspects artist need to pay attention to when submitting a song for radio play?
Yes, the song should be mixed and mastered, has to be mp3 format and should be their best single.
Outside of the industry, what are some initiatives you stand behind for the community?
Over the years myself and the radio station thought it was very important that we give back to the community so we have done multiple feed the homeless events where we gave away clothes and food to the less fortunate. We also did Support Your City events for the kids and families to come out, eat and enjoy themselves.
What’s been the FUNNIEST WTF moment for you thus far in your career?
When I had a kid DM on Twitter and told me he was going to kill himself because he was getting bullied in school, I told him that his family needs him and that he can’t let that bully get in his head, he took my advice and is still alive now!!
