DJ Spotlight: ⭐️Don James!⭐️Don James is the host of The Laguna Lounge, playing an eclectic mix of downtempo, ambient, electronic, acoustic and amazing cover songs all designed for a chill out listening experience on Sundays at 9 pm PST. He is originally from Chicago and has been on the KX airwaves for 4 months.

🎸A favorite album: Allman Brothers – Eat a Peach was the first that came to mind when reading this question.

🌴Why KX: I heard so much about the station as I live in nearby Dana Point, and then my good friend and radio colleague Bob Goodman said I should reach out to see if there were open positions. I’m SO GLAD I did! Wonderful station with a great community of extremely talented, kind and helpful volunteers passionately serving an amazing community and awesome place to live -- Laguna Beach. I always thought when I retire, I would retire to a place like Kauai and work at a local radio station there, when in reality, I’m already living my dream doing what I love at a world class travel destination right here!

⚾️Fun Fact: Tried out for the White Sox as a pitcher

🎙Favorite memory at KX: I’ve been here only four months, but I already have three: my first live show, the 2021 Taste of Laguna Food and Music Festival and our latest Christmas party.

Tune in to Laguna Lounge with Don James Sundays at 9 pm PST.
