Angela Yee (born January 3, 1976) is an American radio personality. She hosts the nationally syndicated morning show The Breakfast Club along with DJ Envy and Charlamagne Tha God.
Yee was born in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, to a West Indian Montserrat mother and a Cantonese father. When she was 15 years old in 1991, she moved to South Orange, New Jersey. She majored in English at Wesleyan University because she wanted to be a writer.
She gravitated toward marketing and music industries soon after graduation from college. She landed an internship with Wu-Tang Management and was hired to assist the CEO, Divine.She also wrote all the Skits on GZA's 2nd Studio album Beneath the Surface.
She then worked for Paul Rosenberg and Eminem's clothing company Shady Limited and saw an opportunity at Sirius Satellite Radio's marketing department, she asked Rosenberg if he could get her an interview because he had the connections through Shade 45. Rosenberg then said to her, "Well, you know what, they're looking for a female on the morning show, why don't you try it out and see if it works for you?"
She hosted Lip Service and The Morning After with Angela Yee on Eminem's radio station, Shade 45, at Sirius Satellite Radio. She started her radio career at Sirius in 2005 as the co-host for The Cipha Sounds Effect. When Cipha Sounds left Sirius in July 2008, Yee took over the hosting duties full-time and the show was renamed the Shade 45 Morning Show Starring Angela Yee, and finally the name changed to The Morning After with Angela Yee.
