Daniels’ acting talent has won him several accolades and led to a significant net worth. Additionally, his philanthropic endeavors cement his position as one of Hollywood’s premier players.

Early Life and Education

Today is a sunny winter day in California State University, Northridge’s public radio station KCSN 88.5 FM studios, led by veteran label and radio executive Chris Daniels who programmed rock stations like KFOG in San Francisco and WLUP in Chicago as well as working at record labels and trade magazine Radio & Records. Now Daniels stands firmly at the helm of an enormous triple-A station reaching 3 million listeners!

At 6-foot-5, Daniels slouches in her chair at her desk and clicks her mouse, as square thumbnails quickly transform into dirt roads, snow-capped mountains, and an orange sky. Daniels is working on designing the 2021 First Year Reading Experience cover and wants it to be worthy of being read by thousands of students – something she knows will make the job worthwhile.

Professional Career

Industry veteran Daniels programmed rock stations KFOG San Francisco, WLUP Chicago, KISW Seattle and KMET Los Angeles during his radio career. Additionally, he served as major record label executive, national VP of entertainment at Best Buy Corporation and General Manager of trade publication Radio & Records.

She played 50 of 52 wins over the past four seasons and holds the tiebreaker with three goals scored within the league.

SoCal Uncensored (SCU), consisting of fellow ROH stars Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky, includes Sky as part of its stable. Wrestling together as Bad Influence during Total Nonstop Action Wrestling bouts as Bad Influence earned them two TNA World Tag Team Championship wins.

Achievement and Honors

Sky Daniels not only worked as a radio presenter, but he has also dabbled with wrestling independent. He won an X-Division Championship before signing with All Elite Wrestling (AEW).

Their banter has grown far beyond just being skits or one-liners; “SCU!” shoutouts now accompany each live event they perform for Ring of Honor.
