Timeline
Sway Calloway is an American radio personality, television presenter, executive producer and former rapper.
Known as Sway, he is known for hosting music, news, and culture programming.
He was an on-air reporter and host for MTV News and occasional non-news hosting, including numerous red carpet MTV award pre-shows, and reports on major events, concluding his tenure with the network as host of the short-lived TRLAM.

He teamed up with DJ King Tech after high school and the duo performed at various San Francisco Bay Area clubs.
They also released independent albums.
A major label record deal with Giant Records followed.

The album featured contributions from hip hop artists such as RZA, Eminem, Xzibit, Kool G Rap, KRS-One, Big Daddy Kane, Tech N9ne, Pharoahe Monch and The Roots.
In 2000, Sway was approached by MTV to join the network as a correspondent, becoming a regular reporter for its music video shows and news specials, including Total Request Live and the hip-hop music video show Direct Effect.
Because MTV's studios are based in New York City, King Tech and The Wake Up Show went along with Sway in his move.
