The Real DANA CORTEZ

About Me


I'm LOUD, I laugh @my own jokes and I LOVE life. I began a career in radio because using my BIG MOUTH to make a living seemed easier to me than finishing school! I'm one of the LUCKY ONE'S, BELIEVE ME... STAY IN SCHOOL! I have a PASSION for music so radio, as a career, made a lot of sense to me. It's such a pleasure to do what I love and in the process, meet great people and get paid to do it! I enjoy being a mother, I adore my CRAZY/INSANE family, (that's another story), and my friends. When I'm down nothing makes me feel better than a little shopping for shoes, bags and any other unnecessary items that serve no purpose in my future financial endeavors! Neiman... HERE I COME
