In Toronto, Ontario born, not raised. In Cambridge is where he spent most of his days. DJ scratching noise We’re talking Cabrel Richards, not Will Smith. The man who is to sports personalities what Richard Pryor is to comedy...A true original. In the late 90’s when The Score came on the scene, they needed content. As a broke intern, his biggest obstacle was getting his segment approved. With bold ‘out of the box’ thinking, ‘Cabbie’ burst onto the Toronto sports scene. Now having interviewed literally everyone - from Drake to Kobe, Jordan to Mike Tyson, his #1 dream guest for his podcast, ‘Cabbie Presents’ is none other then Michelle Obama. If he ever gets his wish, knowing Cabbie, it will be one of the most original interviews she’s ever done. Ladies and gentlemen, the incomparable - Cabbie.
