Ski had a lengthy career as a radio personality and record producer in the Baltimore radio market and he was one of the pioneers of Baltimore club music at V-103-Baltimore (1988-1996) and at WERQ Baltimore(1996-1998) before moving to Atlanta in 1998. His 1992 track “Whores in this House” gave rise to a local genre that was later sampled by and referenced in hip-hop albums, including WAP by Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion, which peaked and debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. He also recorded songs with “Miss Tony,” a club-track vocalist who performed as a gay man at hip-hop parties. The first song Ski and Miss Tony recorded together, “Tony’s Bitch Track,” helped to popularize gay culture and the complexities that exist between gender binaries.

The Frank Ski Kids Foundation is an Atlanta area organization created by Ski in 2000. Its mission statement is “exposing kids to their future through science, technology, athletics, and the arts”.

In 2002, Reverend Jesse Jackson awarded Ski the title of “Journalist of the Year” by the Rainbow Push Coalition.

Ski hosts the International Civil Rights Walk of Fame. The Walk is a partnership between the Trumpet Awards Foundation and the National Park Service and was created in 2004 to give recognition to civil rights leaders who promote justice and equality.

After Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005, Ski spearheaded a fundraising movement to help the victims. He raised $500,000 to support the causes of the Hosea Williams Feed the Hungry and Homeless and Metro Atlanta Respite & Development Services.

In 2009, he finished second (to Neal Boortz) in an unscientific ajc.com poll for the most obnoxious Atlanta radio personality. Radio & TV Talk with Rodney Ho’s poll on whether V-103 should keep Frank Ski (during the time of his contract re-negotiations) was 59% “No”. He has recently been criticized for his support of Bishop Eddie Long during his sex scandal, though he now attends another Atlanta church.
