Josh, a Santa Cruz local, broke into the radio industry in 2018. Beginning as a board operator, he quickly climbed the ranks to become a part-time news anchor and eventually hosted a weekly afternoon drive program. His journey in radio continued through 2021, notably contributing to the revival of KMBY Radio. There, Josh hosted a popular disco program on Saturday nights, collaborated with agencies in producing audio commercials, and volunteered for remote broadcasts. After a brief hiatus to pursue a new career path, Josh returned to the airwaves with the launch of Santa Cruz Voice, reinvigorating his passion for radio.

Red Velvet, a seasoned Hollywood writer, boasts an impressive radio career spanning Chicago, Los Angeles, and the San Francisco Bay Area. His journey in talk radio began in Santa Cruz, where he previously created engaging morning show content for various FM stations, including KDAY, WKQX, and a local talk station.

A pivotal figure in the Los Angeles music scene, Red Velvet played a crucial role in preserving old-school hip-hop on the airwaves. His efforts in saving 93.5 KDAY, through innovative guerrilla marketing strategies and the support of a passionate attorney, ensured the station remained a local staple. His collaboration with area broadcasters was instrumental in keeping the station’s roots firmly planted in the community.
