Gabrielle Reece is our Guest DJ
Gabrielle Reece might just be the most beautiful person I’ve seen in person -- and to top it all off, she is smart, kind and a music lover! She’s a big hip hop fan and leans towards the tracks with positive messages, as well as a good beat. As a former volleyball star and fitness entrepreneur, working out is a huge part of her life and finding the right soundtrack to keep her motivated seems just as important. She admits she is a “sucker for a love song” and tells Raul Campos how her roots in the Caribbean, New York and Hawaii – as well as some famous musician friends -- have expanded her musical horizons (it helps when Eddie Vedder is your husband’s surfing buddy!).
When I grabbed her from the KCRW parking lot, she had a newborn baby in tow and was, of course, very tall. I remember seeing photos of her playing volleyball when I was a teen and thinking how cool she was – a female athlete who was also pretty and poised. She projected a strong female image in a time of skinny supermodels and it was really refreshing for me. Sometimes it can be disappointing to meet people you look up to – this was not one of those times. She was inspiring in her music choices and seems to have a great attitude about life.
