Certain jobs have their perks, and working for iHeart radio certainly has more than the average job. I've been able to attend and be a part of different events, from charitable events from non-profits like the Child Crisis Center and the El Paso Community Foundation, to wrestling promotions and conerts! Some of the celebrities I've met a long the way started with local celebrities during my initial interview with Mike D, Patti D and Adrie from the Power 102 morning show. During remotes I also got to meet bull riding legend Tuff Hedeman and Bryce Redo, a former Dallas Cowboy player at the grand opening of Crunch Fitness, and attended private performances from country artists like Neon Union, Kelsey Hart, and Drew Baldridge for Patti's 30th anniversary party!
One of my first interviews was with Scooter from the local Netflix show Tex-Mex motors, and I even got to watch the first episode with him and his co-star Rabbit at an event from the Plaza Theatre!
I've also gotten to interview country artists like James Dupre, (the surrogate voice for the AI assisted song from Randy Travis), Randall King, Wade Bowen, and Meghan Patrick. I also got to meet Josh and Jase, the viral internet dudes from Britain.
In addition to meeting celebrities, I also get to interview a lot of people from local non-profits that have such amazing stories to tell, from the Frontera Land Alliance to the Kelly Center for Hunger Relief. I also get to meet with record reps who tell me personal stories about their real life relationships with country artists. This job certainly has a lot of "hard" work behind the scenes that has to be done, from production to inputting things into the system that at times is tedious, but I appreciate all of it.
I have more amazing people I'll be interviewing for you all and content for you to see coming up real soon, but I want to know what kind of content would you like to see? Let me know your ideas on my social media or via the iHeart app's free talk-back feature. Let me know your celebrity meeting stories while you're at it, I want to know!
