When Sky Houston steps behind a microphone—whether it’s in a Houston studio, on a national conference stage, or through a speaker in South Africa—she does more than talk. She transforms. Her voice, warm and unmistakable, is equal parts velvet and voltage. It entertains, it affirms, it instructs, and for thousands of listeners across the world, it feels like home.
But ask Sky, the longtime host on Majic 102.1/KMJQ-FM, how she defines her calling, and she’ll tell you plainly: “I get to do this.” Not have to. Not must. Get to.
It’s a perspective rooted in gratitude, grounded in faith, and shaped by more than two decades of watching radio from the inside out—not as celebrity gloss, but as daily devotion.
A Houston staple with a global reach
Sky joined the KMJQ-FM family in 2002 and quickly became known for her sassy, magnetic style. By 2005, she was hosting “Majic After Midnight,” ushering listeners into the late night with wit and ease. But her reach now stretches far beyond Houston’s freeways.
As a TV and voiceover talent represented by Pastorini-Bosni, Sky’s voice is heard nationally and internationally—every single day—including as part of a South African broadcast. She travels the country as a moderator and speaker, lending her presence to the biggest stages in entertainment and empowerment.
And yet, she carries that success lightly.
“Media is a fantastical world,” she says. “Not the average person gets to do a job like this. I’ve lived in a bubble, and sometimes people think all I do is ‘talk.’ But if you put anybody else in this seat, they’d see how much it takes.”
Sky has had to remind people—sometimes gently, sometimes firmly—that behind the glam and the access lies real work. Work that demands consistency, emotional intelligence, stamina, and skill.
“Because my job looks fun, people forget it’s still a job,” she laughs. “I can’t be babysitting anybody at an event worried about who I’m talking to. It takes a special individual to be with someone in this career.”
A call confirmed by faith
For Sky, radio wasn’t a plan. It was a divine appointment.
“I literally fell into it,” she admits. “It was one of the best things ever.”
Over the years, she has tried to walk away—tried to explore other paths, tried to run from what she now knows is assignment, not accident. But God, she says, kept pushing her right back.
She recalls a moment from a Holy Convocation at The Rock, where she volunteers in the production ministry:
“I walked around to sow a seed, and as I passed the prophetess, she touched my forehead and said, ‘I see you in radio.’You don’t see somebody in radio! You hear radio! And honestly, I was trying to leave radio at that time. But here I am, 10 years later, still doing exactly what she spoke.”
Sky smiles at the memory, still stunned by its clarity.
“That was divine intervention. A reminder that everybody doesn’t get to do this. I get to do this—naturally.”
Her faith is the root, the anchor, the why of everything.
“For me, it’s not Family First. It’s God First. Then family, and so on. I can do all things through Him who strengthens me… After that, I can go be SUPERWOMAN.”
Motherhood: Her mirror and her ministry
Sky is the proud mom of one son, the vibrant and 13-year-old Kenzo. And motherhood, she says, revealed parts of herself she never knew existed.
“I didn’t truly learn myself until I became a mom,” she explains. “I started seeing my quirks—my squint when I disagree, my dimples when I’m enamored—reflected right back at me.”
Kenzo also reflects her faith.
“That’s my heart.”
Inspired by her son and the cultural richness of Houston, Sky wrote a children’s book series, Kenzo the International Kid, designed to help kids explore the world through stories.
“Houston is a gateway to the world,” she says. “You can travel the globe just by visiting different corners of this city.”
Like most mothers, she has her “least favorite” tasks (ironing wins that honor), but her biggest lesson has been learning to accept help.
“My hack? HAVE A VILLAGE. I’m independent to a fault, but being a mom taught me that no one—especially a mom—makes it alone. It’s OK to lean on people.”
The work beyond the work
Sky’s passion isn’t confined to radio. She’s a confidence coach, event producer, speaker, and advocate for women and youth. Her “She’s A Masterpiece” confidence course has helped women reclaim clarity, courage, and self-esteem. Her passion for empowerment began long before she had a platform.
“My voice isn’t just for entertainment. It’s for the unheard. I speak to help young women tap into their strength. Your unique voice is your power—USE IT.”
She’s also been recognized for her community work: honored by the Houston Rockets and the ADL as an International Women’s Day leader for challenging stereotypes and celebrating women’s achievements.
A legacy still being written
As she reflects on 23 years in radio, Sky is crystal clear about her impact and her responsibility.
“My job hasn’t been just to play music. Radio is the heartbeat of Houston, and I’ve been privileged to be a steady drummer. My career is about being a resource, a motivator—
Sky Houston
being a trusted voice.”
“My job hasn’t been just to play music,” she says. “Radio is the heartbeat of Houston, and I’ve been privileged to be a steady drummer. I’ve learned that my career is about being a resource, a motivator—being a trusted voice.”
And recently, that work earned a historic honor.
“We won the coveted MARCONI Award! It’s radio’s equivalent to an Emmy or Grammy. It’s the first time our station—or even our company nationwide—has ever won in 30 years. That meant everything.”
But her legacy, she says, reaches further than awards.
“My brand started as a signature. Now it’s a commitment—an unlimited ceiling of possibility for the people who listen to me. When someone told me something I said changed their life, that’s when I knew: my platform isn’t about me.”
The sky is not the limit—it’s the invitation
To hear Sky tell it, her journey is only beginning.
“My message is this: Your unique voice is your power. Use it. Don’t waste another year.”
For the girl in the church pew, the young woman in a cubicle, the mother rediscovering herself, the dreamer who hasn’t yet dared to speak up—Sky Houston is proof that a voice, once liberated, can shift rooms, shift lives, and shift the world.
“I didn’t choose radio,” she says. “Radio chose me. And as long as God keeps opening these doors, I’ll keep walking through them.”
Because for Sky, the mic is ministry. The message is purpose. And the ceiling? Unlimited.
