“I want to be remembered as a caring, compassionate person who helped people. I also want to be known as an entertainment reporter with substance.” – Déja Perez.

Shortly after graduating from Temple University, Deja Perez relocated to the Washington, DC area (DMV) where she got a job working in Promotions for Hot 99.5 FM. From there she took a job in the research department at WPGC 95.5 FM and as soon as she had the opportunity, she let the Program Director know that she wanted to be an On-Air Personality and he took a chance on her.
