John found his love for entertainment & broadcasting from promoting and hosting events in and around his hometown of Atlanta, GA while attending Morehouse College. After multiple radio internships with Clear Channel & Radio One, he landed his first on-air position with legendary ATL hip-hop station WHTA/HOT 107.9. There, he honed his programming, production and promotions skills and was eventually recruited by fellow Atlanta hip-hop station W233BF/Streetz 94.5. The weekends, both on air and in the city nightlife, were his home for the next year. Consistent work ethic eventually landed him his own weekdays show “Kickin' It with John Marshal” on WFXE/FOXIE 105 in Columbus, GA that he took from #4 to #1 in the market for over 2.5 years. John was recognized as Davis Broadcasting's Personality of the Year in 2017.

Now back in ATL, attending Georgia State University for Communications and having joined the Black Information Network/iHeartMedia team, John is broadening his broadcasting horizons and bringing the news as an anchor and reporter to listeners in over 30 cities across the country.
