DJ Sierra

I'm excited and honored to bring you another installation of "Meet the DJ" today! Today you get to meet DJ Sierra, who I've dubbed "The First Lady of HotTrax Radio." I became a full fledged HotTrax Radio listener at the end of December last year. On New Year's Day, the DJ's were attempting to go round the clock with live DJs. My first memory of DJ Sierra was that she was on for like 8 hours or more. And she was awesome! I think that was my first day to go into the chat room, and she was a big help. I have it on good authority that Sierra has been a DJ longer than any DJ in the HotTrax family. Sierra is scheduled on HotTrax Live Tuesday, Thursday, and Fridays from noon to 3 EST, and on HotTrax Country on Mondays, 1-4 PM. That show replays on Friday mornings at 5 EST. And though she's not on the schedule on Wednesday, if she's not working, she's usually there. And many days she doesn't have to work, she plays longer than she is scheduled. I love it on school holidays, and during the summer, when I can catch her shows. She is GREAT! Occasionally we get lucky and she fills in evenings when a scheduled DJ has to miss their show. As you can see, she truly is "The First Lady of HotTrax!"

Sierra was one of the people I had the chance to meet in Kansas this past summer. She is a lot of fun to be around. She is a beautiful lady, with a great personality- much like she is on the radio! She is also a woman of few words, so I've added some to her answers. Read on to find out more about this super DJ.

1. Why did you decide to become a DJ?

It was something "interesting" to do. [When you hear her, you'll think she was born to do this... she has a wonderful voice!]

2. What is your favorite kind of music?

Rock [This surprises me because she does a kick ass country show]

3. What is your favorite thing about being a DJ?

Playing good tunes for all the great listeners. [Sierra has a great following. She is very loved by her listeners.]

4. What do you do when you're not DJing?

I work and sleep. [And if she isn't doing one of those things, she also hangs out in our chat room- stop by and say hi!]

5. Tell me something about you that your listeners might not know.

I'm disabled.

6. Anything else you'd like to share?

No, that's about it. LOL [I told you she was a woman of few words!]

Oh, and FYI... this week Sierra will be doing a show on HotTrax Smooth, Thursday night beginning at 10 PM... catch it if you can!

DJ Tatianna

Today I'd like to introduce you to another one of the terrific HotTrax Radio DJs. DJ Tatianna came on the scene shortly after I made my debut. This was a good thing, because it kept me from being the "new kid on the block" for very long. I had the opportunity to spend about a week with Tat last summer. She came to my house to go to Kansas with us. So not only did we spend time together in Kansas, but the trip to and from, as well. She is a wonderful lady, with a winning personality that comes across when she DJs. And by now, everyone knows she loves all things pink! DJ Tatianna does two shows on HotTraxLive: Tat's Simply Sassy Sundays from 7-10 EST, and Wicked Wednesday with Tatianna from 10-midnight EST. Give her a listen... you will NOT be disappointed. And now, readers, meet DJ Tatianna.


1. Why did you decide to become a DJ?

I went to a Kansas Bash with some amazing people this last July. I had been asked several times before to become a DJ, but wasn't till this trip that I decided since I had given it a try there, that it wouldn't be that hard to do on my own. So here I am :)

2. What is your favorite kind of music?

I enjoy a lot of different kinds of music. I do, however, tend to listen to today's hits (top 40) more so then any other.

3. What is your favorite thing about being a DJ?

I love when I am playing songs and someone says, "WOW! I really liked that song." and asks me about it. I like to play music that people want to hear, and I enjoy the feedback from people that are listening.

4. What do you do when you're not DJing?

Where do I begin? LOL I have two beautiful teenage daughters that keep me busy with their lives and activities. I have recently started babysitting an 11 month old and a 14 month old, and I work at a Seafood/Steak Restaurant on weekend nights.

5. Tell me something about you that your listeners might not know.

I am a huge sports fan. I love high school sports all the way to the major/pro games. I LOVE NASCAR. I enjoy fishing, hunting and camping.

6. Anything else you'd like to share?

I would like to say that I have never in my life ever met/talked to more amazing people that have touched my life, and been there for me, the way HotTrax Radio people have. This includes anyone from yahoo, chat, and in person. Everyone here has welcomed me in from the beginning, and has never stopped caring. Thank You! It means a lot when you have friends that are like a family.

Monday Meltdown

Wow! What a weekend! Jazzy is visiting and we've had a great weekend. I even made a little headway cleaning out the garage! The Cowboys were off today, so I didn't have to worry about them. And Jimmie Johnson has all but clenched the Race for the Chase. And I've heard some GREAT music on HotTrax. This will be another busy week, as we come to the end of the second grading period. Then just one more week until Thanksgiving break! I am SO looking forward to having a week off from school. Then it's only three weeks till Christmas break. That time always goes quickly at school, but it's hectic and the closer Christmas gets, the wilder the kids become. You'd think they'd remember that Santa is watching! I hope everyone had as good a weekend as I've had. And be sure to tune in Monday evening for my "Monday Meltdown" show, where I'll attempt to fix all the wrongs that seem to occur on Monday. If you haven't tuned in yet, just go to http://www.hottraxradio.com/, then click on the HotTraxLive link at the top of the page. From there, you can tune in to the show. Be sure to add "HotTraxLive" to your Yahoo Messenger list so you can talk to me, and make your request. You can also find our chat room from the "HotTraxLive" link. Come join us... I promise you'll forget all about your Monday troubles!
