Early life
Stylez was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. Her parents immigrated from Guatemala in the 1970s and as a result she grew up speaking both Spanish and English.[1]
The last name "Stylez" was given to her by her friends who often complimented her on her daring style choices when she was younger.[2]
Career
Stylez got her first experience working in radio during a brief stint at a Los Angeles radio station.[1] She moved to New York at the age of 19 to pursue a career as a radio personality. While attending college Stylez worked three jobs and started interning at local radio stations to learn about the radio industry.[2]
Stylez' first professional on-air role in radio was at the Spanish-language station La Calle 105.9, playing mostly reggaeton music.[1] Stylez also went on work at the urban radio station Power 105.1.[3]
She moved to WQHT (Hot 97) as a digital producer and started working under Angie Martinez helping in digital aspects of her show.[2] In 2013, after being asked to fill in on the Hot 97 morning show, she joined the show full time alongside Ebro, Rosenberg, and Cipha Sounds.[2] Stylez has hosted various shows including Caliente: Latin hits show on Sirius/XM Radio.[4]
She is a co-founder of ENVSN Festival, a young women's empowerment festival.[5]
