Please allow me to introduce myself....Victor Zaragoza!
I was born in Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico and was raised in Los Angeles, Ca. (San Fernando Valey) till I was 5 years old! I've been in the Radio business for 20 years. I started off on a local Spanish television station as a master board operator and for 9 months was a co-anchor for the news. It was then, when I found out that I'd rather venture into the music business and that is just the start of my years in radio. In the past, I've had a morning, midday, afternoon and evening show and have been on air on a number of major radio stations in California from San Francisco to Salinas and states like Arizona and Texas. I definitely found my niche in music. In 1991, my group and I "Symp’le Smoothe" released a single called “Tell me Girl”. With the success of our single we performed for a total of two and a half years, with major artists like Stevie B, 2 Live Crew, and Doc Box and B Fresh and a list of many more at the time. I then started to branch out into television again and appeared in some local and national commercials. Which only gave me more exposure, in the entertainment industry. I was fortunate enough and honored to be chosen from a number of radio disc jockeys around the U.S. to be a spokesperson for WB Kids and appeared in their promotional presentation video. My filming exposure didn’t stop there, I also became actor. I have starred in a handful of movies made for DVD over the last 3 years and is scheduled to release more in 2007 for Pumpkin Patch Pictures. I would love to take it to the next level and hit the big screen one day.
Victor is also a member of the Spanish broadcast team for the Oakland Raiders home games as the sideline reporter.
Yet being so busy with all of this, I have not let this distract me from my love of music and working on my album signed to In Ya Face/ Universal Records. My recent album has a Latin hip hop taste with a little bit of Reggaeton flavor. Because of my love and dedication to the music and entertainment industry I know what the listeners like and have used that exposure to develop my album. I will continue my role in music and entertainment for many more years and looks forward to producing and opening doors for young upcoming artists and eventually have my own record label. Thank YOU, for taking the time to swing by my page and find out a little bit about me. I hope to become a huge part of Hot 92.3 and all of you...the listeners, my Familia!!!
