WIXY1260Online Welcomes Tim "Shaggy" Kulik

Please join us in welcoming our newest Superman, Tim Kulik (affectionately nicknamed, "Shaggy")! Cleveland born Tim Kulik moved to Tennessee at a young age and graduated from Perry County High School. Afterwards, he became a licensed piercer and in 2004 he moved back to Ohio putting his talents to work at a local tattoo shop.

In 2010, Tim toured the country doing 28 shows and 2000+ miles with one of his favorite bands and soon after began working for Hungry Hustler Records, and toured with a Grammy nominated rap artist.
