What is your show like?

A funky, eclectic mix of new and old music tailored to fit a theme of the week

Why should people listen to the show?

Californiacation is about transporting you to different places through great tunes. Every week I explore a different theme and create a set of songs around it, while introducing listeners to new music and forgotten gems. I've done fun themes ranging from “When Spies Fall In Love,” which included trip hop and big band tunes, “Pool Dreams,” which included surf rock and psychedelic rock/pop, “On The Road,” which included indie rock and blues, and “Fall Into It,” which included a lot of down-tempo electronic music.

Also, I have a GREAT regular guest, Zach Miller who has incredible insight on music and provides awesome commentary.

How long have you had a show at WSUM?

This is my third semester with a show at the station, but I wish I had one for longer- if you're interested in becoming a DJ start early!!!

What do you do outside of the station? (Hobbies, job, etc)

When I am not at the station (which is pretty often) I can be found cooking and crafting in my apartment; I make jewelry and bejewel lighters. I thoroughly enjoy tie-dying and dancing as well.

Favorite Music/ Best album of 2012:

Purity Ring (Shrines), Alt-J (An Awesome Wave), Hot Chip (In Our Heads), Poolside (Pacific Standard Time), Alabama Shakes (Boys & Girls), Tame Imapala (Lonerism)

I don't have a favorite band but I consistently love: Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, Bonobo, St. Vincent and Purity Ring

Fun Fact about you or your show:

I made my star debut in M83's “We Own The Sky” music video lol
