10 Questions with ... Matt "DJ Ecto1" HernandezBRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS:
I kicked off my journey at KVTA-A (NewsTalk 1580am)/Ventura as a board op. This was my foot in the door, and I would be dropping off mixtape demos to the 2nd floor as often as possible to KCAQ.

I spent two years with some great people at AGM as a PD/MD.
Dreams do come true. I'm now in both spaces of broadcasting (Digital and Terrestrial ) living my dream at Dash Radio as Head of Programming for Hip-Hop & Dance as well as an On-Air Mixer and Music Editor for KPWR Power 106 and On Air Mixer for 93.5 KDAY.
