Aleksa Manilla: Drug Counselor by day– Drag Diva by night!

Aleksa 2
She’s like a superhero. Her day job is to help people find a new beginning. When the sun goes down and the disco lights take over, she’s earned the title of “most fabulous” with us– that’s in addition to her official titles of Miss Gay Filipino 2001, Miss Gay Seattle 2004, Empress of Seattle 2006, and 2014 Grand Marshal of Seattle Pride. We swooned when she called.

L.A. Kendall: Pridefest Talent Curator/Deputy Festival Director

L.A. Kendall is one of the pivotal figures every year at Pridefest. Her team makes the magic happen on the stages and throughout the festival. She’s also an established deejay with a huge following in the LBGTQA scene.

Alyssa Lee: Transgender liaison for community outreach and education

  • Hello,
    My name is DJ Bear. I used to live in Anchorage, AK and visit Seattle quite often. I really miss Seattle a lot especially the night life. I know live in BFE Ohio. Listening to your online radio keeps me up to date on dance music. I have been a DJ for over 31 years. Since moving to BFE Ohio I really don’t have any exposure to dance music except for online. Thank you for your station. I can even listen to it in my car through my iPhone. Please, keep up the great work and I hope to one day make it back to Seattle.
