Check Out Erin Rae’s Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to Erin Rae.

Hi Erin, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I’m originally from Kansas and got my start in radio 12 years ago as an intern at KPRS. From there, I worked in college radio at K-State, eventually making my way to Atlanta and earning a middays position at Hot 107.9. Today, I’m part of the team at V-103, where I’ve continued to grow my career across radio, television, podcasting, and red-carpet coverage.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road, but it has absolutely been worth it. Working in entertainment is very similar to being an entrepreneur you’re constantly hustling, creating opportunities and finding ways to stay relevant in an ever changing industry.
There have been challenges mentally, physically, emotionally and even spiritually. The pace can be demanding, and there are moments when things don’t go as planned. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that you have to keep moving forward, stay adaptable, and know when it’s time to pivot. Success in this business isn’t just about talent it’s about resilience, consistency, and the ability to evolve when opportunities and circumstances change.

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I work in radio and entertainment as a personality currently on-air at V-103, after spending time at Hot 107.9 in Atlanta, and getting my start in Kansas at KPRS and college radio at KState.

I specialize in connecting with people whether it’s music, culture, interviews, or just bringing energy to someone’s commute and day. I’m known for keeping things real, fun, and a little unpredictable in the best way… the kind of energy that makes you lean into the radio instead of turning it down.

What I’m most proud of is the growth starting from the ground up and building a career where I’ve been trusted on major stations, red carpets, TV and podcasts. I’ve learned how to move with the industry while still staying true to my voice.

What sets me apart? I don’t just “do radio” I live in the culture of it. I know how to entertain, connect and pivot when needed all while being authentic, relatable, and I’m just that girl lol

What quality or characteristic do you feel is most important to your success?
Adaptability hands down!

In this industry, nothing stays the same for long. Music changes, platforms shift, opportunities move fast, and you have to be able to move with it without losing your identity. I’ve learned that the people who last aren’t always the loudest or the most talented they’re the ones who can adjust, pivot, and still show up with consistency no matter what’s happening around them.

That ability to adapt while staying grounded in who you are has been the biggest key to my success.
