Ben is a senior at John Hersey High School and started DJing last year. Benny likes all kinds of music, but is firmly rooted in the pop genre. Some of his favorite artists are Maroon 5, Bruno Mars, Zac Brown Band, One Direction -- but, he also indulges himself into some Radiohead and Chainsmokers, too. He loves pasta and gummy bears -- often together, from what we've heard (okay, maybe not). His time on the station this year is limited because he is literally involved in every activity possible at Hersey High School. Next year, he'll be attending Bowling Green State University in Ohio.
You can hear DJ Benny often on the Morning show, between 8-8:30.
Owen is a senior at John Hersey High School, and this is his second year as a DJ on Huskie Radio. His favorite artists are Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles and, of course, The Who. In fact, he loves the Who and will play them any chance he gets! His Classic Rock knowledge is amazing, and that is his go-to genre. But, he will also sprinkle in some other genres as well. He likes anything with chocolate, including his drums. Just kidding. But he does play drums. And when he's not on Huskie Radio, you just might find him listening to music while eating chicken nuggets and mac & cheese. He'll be going to Harper College next fall.
Owen can be heard on the Morning Show, daily from 7:50-8:30am.
Tomasz (aka Mr. 305) is a first-time DJ here on Huskie Radio. A senior, he plans on majoring in IT next year. In fact, he really is into game development and website design. He is also a huge fan of football -- real football - you know, the kind with a round ball that is the most popular sport in the world. His favorite artists are Pitbull, Queen, Ricky Martin, Rihanna, Muse and many more. His show features a huge mix of rock and pop. His favorite food is pierogi (and who doesn't love a good pierogi!), so if you see him, he may be eating some!
Mr. 305 airs every brown day (8th Block) from 1:45-3pm.
aDJ
Alan (aka "aDJ") is a junior at Hersey High School. His goal as a first-time DJ: play "music that gets people pumped up." His favorite bands are Imagine Dragons, Maroon 5, Bruno Mars and Panic! at the Disco. His favorite foods are grapes and pierogi -- not sure if he likes "grape pierogis" or not. You'll have to ask him. And if you really want to make him happy, give him a Kit Kat.
He is not sure what he wants to do after high school, but who really does?
aDJ can be heard during C lunch on Brown days.
Musfira, Lola and Madzia are sophomores and spend their lunch on B days down in the ARC Studio, spinning all sorts of Alternative Rock songs. In fact, when they asked to be a part of Huskie Radio, our Alt-Rock catalogue was really weak. Thanks to them, we have added hundreds of songs to our library.
Lola's favorite bands are Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Hole and more. She loves chocolate and burgers and drawing. Not sure if she likes to draw chocolate and burgers. You'll have to ask her.
Madzia likes to listen to Smashing Pumpkins, too. Plus, some Strokes and the Cure as well. She likes pasta and fruit roll-ups and history. Maybe she can talk about the history of fruit roll-ups and pasta. She's pretty smart, you know.
Musfira likes all kinds of music. In addition to the songs her friends pick, she is also partial to Drake and the Weeknd. Although she doesn't have a favorite song, she likes listening to her music on Spotify, while indulging in a Twix or Kitkat. Especially after running. She is on the track team, you know, and those candy bars are so good after a run. Or before a run. Or, anytime actually. Her motto is, "Be yourself!"
The Alt-Lunch can be heard on Brown days during A lunch.
Christian (CJ the DJ) and Ben (The Mighty Meek) are Freshman, and love Classic Rock. They spend their 4th block in the studio spinning all sorts of "Classic Rock Bangers," as CJ calls it.
CJ the DJ's favorite bands are AC/DC, Queen, Nirvana and Black Sabbath. His go-to food is pizza and burgers, which you'd expect from a classic-rock aficionado. Sometimes, he also indulges in Snickers bars as well. He plays some guitar and enjoys photography, too. Probably takes a lot of pictures of his guitar.
The Mighty Meek likes listening to Led Zeppelin, Green Day and Blue Cheer. Unfortunately, we didn't have any Blue Cheer in the library, so we had to add it. Didn't want to make the Might Meek mad. Like most classic rock gurus, he loves pizza and M & M's, often sprinkling the candy on top of the pizza, we heard. And he wants you to know that he will play whatever classic rock song you want, just ask.
(Classic) Rock Your World featuring CJ the DJ and theMightyMeek can be heard every 4th block (Orange Days) from 1:45 - 3pm.
DJ XMorales
Mateo (aka XMorales) is a Freshman at Hersey. In terms of music, he loves hip-hop, the classics, new music — basically, anything and everything. When asked who is is favorite artist, he admits he has “a lot,” but specifically mentioned Drake. When he’s not listening to music, he likes to game, and also working out and walking around. And maybe he does all of that stuff while eating Skittles — he seems to really like Skittles.
XMorales hosts his show First Block on Orange days, from 8:30 to 9:50. You can expect to hear a wide variety of music, or as XMorales likes to say: “history’s favorites, forgotten and newest music.”
Brianna and Katherine (aka B and K) come to the ARC studio during their lunch on A days to spin the hits. B and K share similar taste in music, with each listing Peso Pluma, CNCO and Bad Bunny as favs.
B is in band and plays piano and flute. She also really like tacos and her go-to candy is Trollis. Maybe she likes Trollis tacos? Not sure.
K is also in band. She plays trumpet. If you see her and she’s making a face, it’s because Sour Patch Kids are her go-to candy. She also like sushi. We are not sure if she enjoys them together, or wraps Sour Patch Kids in rice and seaweed. But it wouldn’t surprise us.
B and K can be heard every Orange day from 1 - 1:30 (C Lunch) playing the hits and whatever else they want to play. With them, you never know!
