Peter Rosenberg is an American radio disc jockey, television show host, and professional wrestling personality. He is the co-host of Ebro in the Morning, alongside Ebro Darden, on hip hop radio station WQHT (“Hot 97”); and The Michael Kay Show on ESPN Radio affiliate WEPN-FM, and the YES Network. He is signed to WWE.

He had an upper middle-class Jewish upbringing, and was introduced to hip hop through his older brother. Peter started his own underground hip hop radio show in the University of Maryland towards the end of the “Golden Age” of hip hop. From there, he hosted shows at different stations around the D.C. area.

Peter’s mother was born in a German displaced persons camp, and moved with her family to America. Peter has said that he is not very religious, but that his ethnic background has often come up throughout his career, being one of the few Jewish personalities in the hip hop industry. He has said:

I know that I’m proud of being Jewish. I enjoy being one of the torchbearers in hip-hop. It’s a big part of who I am.
