Music has been the heartbeat of my existence since childhood, an ever-present companion whether through the enchanting melodies on the radio or the immersive experience of an artist’s album. My life’s passion revolves around bestowing upon others the gift of music, whether introducing them to a new artist or song, or creating those unforgettable “I haven’t heard this in forever” moments. The thrill of playing a song that elicits a genuine “Wow! Cool song!” reaction is what fuels my love for this art form.

My radio journey began at my college station, where I cultivated a concept that celebrated the joy of rediscovery. This idea continued to blossom at an internet radio station, focusing on tunes that sparked that nostalgic sentiment. Transitioning to NEWHD LA, my show incorporates elements of all these experiences and more. It’s a fusion of the “forgotten songs” not gracing mainstream airwaves, the freshest musical discoveries, hidden gems from classic artists, and a sprinkle of timeless classics. Anticipate an abundance of surprises that aim to captivate, inspire, and elicit that coveted response – “Wow! Cool song!” In the realm of music, my mission is to craft an auditory journey that resonates with the diverse musical tastes of my audience, creating moments that linger in their hearts and minds.
