Who am I?
Dave Sloan is a true Valley boy. Born in the San Fernando Valley and raised on the So Cal sounds from 70s AM pop to 80s AOR and College Radio. A former radio Music Director I got to interview some of my favorite artists and make relationships with the movers and shakers of the music industry. I was fortunate that podcasts were invented so I can continue to talk with artists and my radio friends.
