Loyalty is a small word that has a big meaning. Not too many people in this industry have the definition of that word locked in there brain. However as tainted as it may be and in New York itself, it’s less likely to find someone who isn't an artist, producer, personality, model, rapper, label owner, manager, more or all the above. What's crazier is the 6 degrees of separation; where someone you just met knows someone who knows or works with someone you know. In the ups and downs of radio, labels, music fashion any or all the aspects of "the industry", there are a few who are actually in it with an untainted heart, and a passion that continues to be un harmed. People, who actually still believe, are in it for the love of what they do and are genuine people with no ill intentions. Two of those people who I know are... Dun dun duuuunnn... (Pause for reaction) myself and ms Erica Lopez! Yes you knew that was coming!
For those that aren't aware of who we are at Urban Latino Radio, well…. Here's a brief description. Erica Lopez a writer, Dancer, radio host and Public Relations dreamer, who vastly made her dream of being in PR, and Social Media, a paved road to follow in a short amount of time. Still learning about her myself, what I know her dedication is as big as her heart and I'm proud to have her in my life. I’ll let her give you her own introduction. Me hmm well, quickly... Solo Singer, TV host, to rec label intern, to promo dept rec label guru, to assistant at island def jam, to writer to Singer in a 3 member group, to singer in a duo, back to solo artist, to TV host again to Radio Host and so on.. It’s been a long road.
Erica and I met in the Reality Show Pilot "Americas next radio Show host", a competition for the one co-host spot on a show at urbanlatinoradio.com and at first we were cool, then I hated her… Then some how along the way loved her. We didn't win the contest however was brought on to co host "The Talent Show" on Wednesdays with the shows host and solo host its Thursdays in which we subtitled "Thirsty Thursday" it was an amazing time! In that time we both had many ideas running thru our veins so we decided to make it a reality.
One move was, we started our own website, for as we call it "all things amazing" and as a public relations company to up and comers. The inspiration coming from the shows we did at Urban and the backs of Angela the station manager and Alex the station owner. Due to the separation and little tiffs of the radio show it was postponed then ended, on our part and the other co-hosts. Although many of you who loved our silly convos and random chats, with great celeb interviews, The Talent Show was returned to its original format, and as it should have been. Those of you, who were fans, don't be sad, because this is just the beginning!
Because we are still newbies in the radio game and I'm no rookie in front of the camera, and Ms Erica has been strutting her stuff in front as well, we came up with a better way for you guys to have our silliness once again! So here's the intro… We know you loved the radio show even more when we had a live feed. So now joining teams with TheSweeLifeOfJandE.com and our beloved UrbanLatinoRadio.com we bring you weekly webisodes of our first Urban Latino Radio WebTV Show, “The Sweet Life” yes you get to have us a little longer! Besides our blogs on urban, that will be updated regularly we will have our mini show! With our normal crazy selves, celeb interviews, and much much more! We also bring you our new Dj, Dj PM who will be showing you what he has throughout the show!
So now that I have posted my first blog entry on ULR, mixed with a little intro to what's to come, this is me! I will keep you up to date on behind the scenes on urban Latino, celeb parties or sarcastic remarks you just love me putting out there for you!! Besides that I give you my perspective on product reviews, situations of random conversation, relationship info and whatever else I might wanna vent on! ;) So stick around, stay tuned and check out our other great writers, including Erica's blogs. Thanks for being avid fans of urban Latino radio! We effin love you!! ;)
