Hailing from Los Angeles, DJ Mary Marin grew up listening to iconic SoCal radio stations KLOS and KROQ and grooving to Soul Train with her best friend Myrtle. From Stevie Ray Vaughan to Rickie Lee Jones, from Tina Turner to David Bowie, Rick James and George Thorogood, the LA scene helped shape her diverse musical tastes.

Little did Mary know that someday she’d be living the dream on Vashon, shaking a tail feather as a Zumba instructor and cohosting Dance Time with Sammy V!
