and radio and podcast host. Dating back to skipping 6th period during his senior year in high school, he became part of a cast of rotating DJs on KVCM. He would later land shows on KCSN, KPFK, Dublab, and KROQ. He joined KCRW in 2008. His show has been championed by the likes of Childish Gambino, Khruangbin, Ty Dolla $ign and Julian Casbablancas for Valadez’s celebration of music discovery. He has held DJ residencies in Los Angeles including the legendary Temple Bar and the Natural History Museum for their First Fridays series, and in Las Vegas at the SLS. He also served as host and co-producer for three seasons of <em>Crate Diggers</em> on Fuse TV. The show documented the art of digging for recorded gems with top record collectors across the United States. He was hand- selected by Jennifer Lopez to open for her 2014 homecoming show in the Bronx. He has remixed official releases for David Bowie, Ozomatli, Local Natives, and has released three full-length albums of his own on indie label, Plug Research. He has had the honor of sharing the stage with Prince, Ben Harper, Meshell Ndegeocello, Bruno Mars and was voted Best Club DJ by the LA Weekly's Readers Poll in 2016.</p></div> </div> </div> </div><!-- end inner-wrap --> </div> <div class="PersonContent hub-row" id="person-content" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/ItemList" itemid="/#b089ee164f6ee0faf50c3593d618b336-person-content"> <h2 itemprop="name">Anthony Valadez on KCRW</h2> <div class="chronological-feed"> <div class="single episode-Item" itemprop="itemListElement" itemid="/#7a45053a4ca14b12aabbd2b60eb3528a" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/ListItem"> <link itemprop="additionalType" href="http://schema.org/NewsArticle"/> <meta itemprop="position" content="1"/> <a class="primary-link" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220807215716/https://www.kcrw.com/music/shows/morning-becomes-eclectic/mbe-august-5-kokoroko-and-songs-that-keep-david-greene-moving" aria-label="Link to: David Greene on pizza, karaoke, and being dubbed 'Big Sexy' by T-Boz" itemprop="url"> <span class="title">David Greene on pizza, karaoke, and being dubbed 'Big Sexy' by T-Boz</span> </a> <div class="photo"> <img alt="Award-winning journalist David Greene is officially part of the KCRW family as the new host of Left, Right & Center.
