This DJ was inspired to be on the radio early in life.  Baca knew he had more to offer people who listened to music, and he wanted 2 expose the human aspect of the artist behind the music. As a kid he would listen for hours waiting to hear his favorite artist being interviewed.  He never did and vowed to do it himself one day. 

This host enjoys interviewing writers, producers, singers, and musicians to understand the full spectrum of music that is created.  Baca started @ KPFA Berkeley in 1989 before initiating his move to KPFK Los Angeles.   Baca continues his legacy at KPFK Los Angeles. 

He shares his love of music every Saturday Morning @ 4am & 5am.
