Quddus is a critically acclaimed TV host, producer and media coach committed to bringing out the best in us. Chris Rock said, “If Oprah and Ryan Seacrest had a love child, the kid would end up being like Quddus.” His big break as an MTV host on the iconic show, Total Request Live (TRL) led to pioneering new media as an executive producer on projects with AOL, Yahoo, and Youtube as well as continuing to host television with NBC (Access Hollywood), CBS (The Insider) and ABC as the first man of color to host a primetime singing competition show (Duets). Quddus has also had the honor of coaching some of the most inspiring people in the world and speaking on stages like the Global Citizen Festival, the United Nations and TEDx about how to create culture change through media.
