Calloway began his career as a hip hop artist before he transitioned to television as a pivotal member of the MTV news team in 2000. He continues to be a staple in Hip-Hop with his SiriusXM/Shade 45 radio show “Sway In The Morning” and his high-profile interviews with President Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Mariah Carey, Jay Z and Kanye West, which spawned the famous #HowSway.
