Weekend host at
Alexia (Aka Lexy Love) is a California native who has spent her entire adult life on the airwaves all over the Golden State. With 18 years of experience under her belt, Alexia has been entertaining others most of her life. At a very young age Alexia realized she needed to be in front of a mic! As a kid, she would create her own radio shows using just her Fisher Price karaoke machine and cassette player. Alexia grew up in a musical household, so naturally music was part of her everyday life.
Alexia has worked Mornings, Middays and Nights on several radio stations, including; Hot 104.7 (Merced, Ca), 102.5 KDON (Salinas, Ca), KHOP 95.1 (Modesto, Ca), Wild 106 (San Luis Obispo, Ca), 97.7 & 98.3 KWIN (Stockton, Ca).
In 2013 Alexia packed her bags and moved to San Diego (her favorite city!) and began working at Z90. Since then, she’s worked at Energy 103.7 Alt 94.9 and Bob Radio, but finally back to Z90 where she feels right at home. In 2020 she was presented the idea to voicetrack from home in California, so you can now hear her Middays 10a-2p Eastern Time on K92 (Roanoke, Va).
Alexia is a huge music lover. She listens to everything from Salsa to Reggae, Beach Goth to Oldies and on her days off you might even catch her singing at an acoustic gig or DJing a variety of events all over San Diego and beyond. She currently resides in Chula Vista and spends her time in the South Bay. You might catch her hanging at the local art shows or anywhere there is live music blasting through the speakers!!
