Outside of Grand Mix Master Kurt "K.O.T.O." Curtis, Bobby Stoner was one of Tampa Bay's earliest pioneering club DJ's. Stoner launched his career as a Disc Jockey while attending college at USF in 1972. While an On-Air personality for campus radio station WUSF-FM he created the name and format for a show called "The Underground Railroad". Also during this time period he worked as a Club DJ at various venues. Upon graduating in 1973 with a BA in Speech Communication/Broadcasting, Stoner moved onto longtime established Black radio station WTMP where he was a mid-day Air Personality from 1976-78.

In 1976 he launched his own special events company providing music programs and audio systems for fashion show events/promotions. In 1992 Stoner landed the prestigious position as a Billboard reporter. As one of a select group of Billboard Dance Chart reporters in the country he had the privilege of programming the latest Dance music and remixes, often times a month or more before it's released to the general public.

During the mid and late 1990's Stoner continued to provide music programs and audio systems for a Miami production company in South Florida who did lighting and stage sets for designer fashion shows. Over the years Stoner rose to the ranks of Grand Mix Master with his flawless mixing and programming skills. Since 1972 he has spun at such clubs as The Carousel, PAC (Performing Arts Center), Old Plantation, Renes, Howard Avenue Station and Metropolis.

Bobby Stoner has become the 4th inductee into the Tampa Bay area Grand Mix Masters Hall Of Fame by staying loyal to his profession. In true form and like other Grand Mix Masters he became a huge success due to the fact he truly enjoys his profession.
