Eric Valdez

A native of the San Francisco Bay Area and 25-year veteran of the  radio and records world, Eric came to the valley in 1996 from Sacramento  CA to start a brand new radio station KPTY / 103.9 “Arizona’s Party  Station”.  Fell almost immediately in love with Phoenix and has been  happy to call it home all these years.

Growing up Eric spent a lot of time at the movie theater and realized  the impact that they made on his life after watching John Hughes 1986  classic “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”.

Fortunately, instead of taking the rest of his life off, Eric got  into the wonderful world of radio at the age of 18 and has got to work  in some great cities up and down the California coast as well as in  Tucson and Phoenix.  Eric also spent a few years working in the record  industry for a few independent companies and spent 2 years traveling as  the Road and Office Manager for national recording artist Stevie B.

Eric took up writing movie reviews a few years ago while working for  valley radio station KMVA/Hot 97.5 & 103.9.  Since then, as KMVA was  sold to Riviera Broadcasting, his reviews have been added to sister  radio stations KKFR/Power 98.3 & 101.9 and KOAI/95.1 & 94.9 The  Oasis.  His “Quick & Simple Review” can be seen on each stations  Facebook pages every week.
