This early experience paved the way for his transition into the club scene of Bakersfield, California.
While in Bakersfield, Lotus P8 joined KKXX as an on-air personality, where he hosted and programmed two distinct shows: X-Factor Radio, featuring alternative rock, and Planet X, dedicated to electronic music. His sharp wit and eclectic taste made him a favorite among listeners. Eventually, X-Factor Radio moved to KRAB Radio, with Lotus P8 continuing as its host and programmer.
In the 1990s, he ventured to the scenic city of San Luis Obispo, landing a role at KSLY as a production director and on-air personality. There, he also hosted and programmed The Other Side, a show focused on alternative rock. Despite his radio commitments, his passion for DJing in clubs remained strong, and he continued to energize audiences in San Luis Obispo. He also spent weekends in Santa Barbara, working as an on-air personality at KHTY.
As the millennium approached, Lotus P8 relocated to San Francisco, embarking on a new career outside of radio. However, his love for DJing never faded, and he continued to electrify club audiences with his performances.
