Jay Lang’s Summary
Outside of my quest to remain a man of truth, honor and intergrity, 34 Years in Radio & Television Broadcasting has been good to me and there are many more good years ahead. Songwriting for Bob Baldwin & Ken Navarro and working with The Blackbyrds has afforded me the satisfaction of expressing my creative side and escaping from the world momentarily. Being the voice of FBCG news at The First Baptist Church of Glenarden keeps me grounded in the word. I plan on continuing my musical pursuits as well as expanding my artist management base,. My ultimate goal is to fully establish the HJLang Foundation For The Arts, Humanities & Entertainment to pass on educate, assist and encourage the growth, development and intellectual advancement of the less fortunate and those who are entering into and looking to advance in cultural arts, broadcasting and music. At the end of the day, the ultimate goal for me is to achieve and soar towards excellence in all I do, helping as many as I can along the way.
