California born and raised, I grew up in a mid-sized town 45 minutes north of San Francisco. My real name is Aldric, but the homies call me Aldo (If you meet me in person, DO NOT say “Aldo like the shoe store?!”). On the air I go by the super cool DJ name, DJ ChocolateEinstein, I love a variety of genres of music, especially Hip-Hop and anything else that is DOPE.

I hail from a minuscule small town named Plantation that lies to the west of Ft. Lauderdale. For most people, this location isn’t exactly conducive to tastes for indie rock, noise pop, and post-punk/new wave revivalism, so I’m not sure how I ended up listening to stuff like that. Lucky for me, WVUM is a proponent of such sounds. 

Hey, I’m Alex Faron. New York born, Miami raised. I’m a guitarist. Love all kinds of music and that’s why I got involved here at the radio.

What’s up? My name is Alex Lal a.k.a DJ Lolz - Keeping it funny here at WVUM 90.5 The Voice. I’m a pretty funny guy (at least in my opinion), pretty chill, and always looking for something good to listen to.

Where do I even start when talking about myself? Should we start with my killer personality? or my captivating charm? Or we can start by talking about the fact that in social situations, I can’t help but bring up the fact that I work for WVUM. Usually the response is overwhelmingly positive. The few times it is not, I end the conversation immediately and walk away in disgust. When I am not doing WVUM-related things, I am usually scouring the downtown area for some fun, then I return home and do WVUM-related things. I enjoy things that bring me sunshine and happiness. I have an affinity for travel and going places. I am always doing something different, new & exciting.
