KOZZ Program Director, Daniel Cook, made him on-air talent in March 1982. After discovering the phrase "Max Volume" was displayed on the face of everybody's radio dial, Bailey adopted the on-air moniker "Max Volume". In 1987, Volume met Whitesnake's David Coverdale, who mentored him on the business aspects of the music industry. Volume became involved with the Whitesnake album "Slip of the Tongue" and the Coverdale/Page project, where he met Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page.
