10 Questions with ... Edwin "EeE" Guevara

BRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS:

I started my radio career in 2009 as an intern at KXOL in Los Angeles. After six months of interning, I was then hired as a board operator. Two years later, I moved on to work at KPWR (Power 106), where I helped produce shows like "Big Boys Neighborhood," "The Lift Off" and "The Mando Show." At the same time, I was beginning my on-air career at KKUU (U 92.7)/Palm Springs, doing weekend shifts and later moving on to the night show. In 2013, I got the opportunity to do "Up All Night with EeE," which was the overnight show at KVEG (Hot 97.5)/Las Vegas. Two years later I was offered a huge chance to be the host of the night show at WPST (94.5 PST) in Trenton, NJ. I happily continue to host "The EeE Show" at 94.5 PST, always looking to grow in my career.

1) Are you wearing more "hats" than you have in the past?

Yes, besides being the night show host I am also the promotions coordinator at 94. PST.

2) What is your favorite part of the job?

I love interacting with daily listeners who call in and being able to make their days by shouting them out on air and giving prizes away.

3) What is the most challenging part of the job?

Constantly having fresh show content and making sure the listeners are always entertained can sometimes be a challenge. While it may be tough, and sometimes stressful, it is an adrenaline rush that I love.

4) What's one thing that would surprise many people to learn about you?

Many people would find it hard to believe that I am actually a really good cook. I love making "pupusas," an El Salvadorian dish.

5) Who is your favorite air personality not on your staff and why do you like them?

I actually have two favorite on-air personalities. One is Ryan Seacrest and the other is J Cruz. Their creativity is just insane. The way they share a story on air is entertaining and great to listen to.

6) Who would be a "dream guest" to have on your show?

Kanye West and Kobe Bryant.

7) Who were your mentors? Who would you say has influenced your career the most?

Chuey Martinez and Rick Morales. These two guys definitely influenced my career the most. Chuey Martinez's creativity and talent is insane. The way he controls interviews has taught me so much. Rick Morales' passion and dedication for the business has helped me to stay focused and aim for more.

8) Looking back, which years hold the best musical memories for you and who were your favorite acts at that time?

2008, Lil Wayne with "Lollipop" is definitely a memory. I don't think I have any favorite acts, but 2008 was a great year for music.

9) What is it about our industry that keeps you wanting to do it for a living?

The fact that every day is different and there is never a dull moment keeps me wanting to strive in this industry.

10) What advice would you give people new to the business?

I would tell them to stay focused on one main goal in life and strive for it. I've gotten so many no's along the way, but it has never stopped me from getting where I want to be. I feel as if I am not even half way through my career, so let's keep pushing. Dream big.

What did you want to be when you were growing up?

Funny thing, I really wanted to be a lawyer, but then I noticed it involved a lot of schooling. I always liked entertaining people so that's when I realized that the entertainment business was for me.
