Biography - Kevin Nixa - Host of The Morning Show On NixaCountry
Kevin was born and raised in Southern California. His fondest memories are of his grandpa who passed away when Kevin was nine years old, although he still feels his grandpa's presence around him, supporting and encouraging him. He was a volunteer fireman during high school and his resume includes being a field engineer, where he helped design and install high speed internet throughout Southern California.
He began his radio DJ career with xradio.biz in 2002, where he was the morning DJ playing country music during his time slot "NIXA in the Morning Time". His slogan became, "Good Morning World, Wakey, Wakey, Eggs and Bakey".
In December 2004, Kevin started the xradio.biz/country station. In addition to on-air personality, he also organized several LIVE venue events, including the "West Coast Jam" at the Galaxy Theatre in Santa Ana, Fontana Race Fest for NASCAR in September, 2005, announcing The Tractor Races, Temecula, October 2005, and a Toy Drive in December, 2005.
Kevin Nixa and Val Jean started attending several venues in January, 2006, featuring many independent artists, like Brad Johnson, Thunder Road, Brian Lynn Jones, JD Michaels, and Gis Johannson, as well as major artists like Keith Anderson and Miranda Lambert. Highlights included Drew Davis Band in Tuscon, AZ and Santa Ynez, CA in January, and Country Thunder in Arizona, April, 2006. NIXA Country was conceived during this time and was launched on May 15th, 2006. The co-founders shared the hopes and dreams of creating a unique tool to help support country artists and promote their music. Although terrestrial radio is not unique, the use of internet radio to promote independent country artists seemed to be the tool needed to truly share the music with the fans.
