Well, I come from Wisconsin with a banjo on my knee, Cheesehead through and through. When I found out that I couldn't make it as a Packer, I got behind the Mic and never looked back. I have traveled throughout the country but I have never felt more at home as I do along the South Shore. I love Northwest Indiana and am proud to call it home! And I am also proud to be a part of the team here at Z107! Thanks so much for listening and for not making any white hair jokes.

I have been a southshore native my whole life!  Being a professional
karaoke singer and an avid vinyl record collector, my love for music has
deep roots especially in the local music scene.  And with that, came the
"Fresh Brew" new music segment on the Wake-Up Crew every weekday morning on
Z107.

Born in Northwest Indiana, got a BA from Purdue and MA from IU and roots for both (even when they play each other).  Newscasts have won several awards from Indiana Broadcasters Association, Society of Professional Journalists/Indiana Chapter, and Network Indiana.

I was born a Lake County kid and have lived in Northwest Indiana ever since.  Music has been something I have admired since I was able to listen.  Fun facts:  I used to dress like Madonna when I was very young and I used to think that Boy George was the prettiest girl ever while I sang "Karma Chameleon" incorrectly at the top of my lungs.  I think it's really great whenever I go to shopping or to an appointment around the region, I hear Z107 in the background.  Thanks for listening!

Hi, It's John Cruz, I'm a Proud Father of two great boys.. I grew up in Marion Indiana. As a youngster I would often dream of being on the radio and traveling across the country doing just that...And, I have to say that my dream came true... I really love the listeners here in Northwest Indiana. Thanks for allowing me to be a part of your workday.
