Because of his incredible party-vibe energy along with his comedic personality, over two million listeners tune in daily to hear his show entitled “The Mando Show.” Music has driven Mando ever since he was young as he started DJ’ing at the early age of fourteen. All throughout high school, he performed in talent shows and Deejayed at school dances.
During college, he attended a Television & Radio program where he continued making a name for himself with his high-rated radio show, which broadcasted on campus and on the web. His buzz was so big that he attracted listeners from Australia, Puerto Rico, and even China. At the age of 20, his next move was to Los Angeles’ hip-hop radio station, Power 106 FM. There, he began in the promotions department and later made his way into becoming the youngest on-air radio personality in station history. Mando has hosted every time slot from mornings to nights and has interviewed everybody from Kanye West to The Goo Goo Dolls. He fell in love with the power of the microphone and can now be seen on stage entertaining crowds of over 20,000 people and DJ’ing at the hottest clubs in Los Angeles, Puerto Vallarta, and Tokyo.
In early 2007, Mando hit national television airwaves as VJ and on-set DJ for LATV Live. In addition, because of his great ear for picking hits, he also attained the position of music coordinator for the LATV network that reaches over 43 million homes. Besides maintaining valuable relationships with leading artists and being successful both in television and radio, Mando has recently taken the role of a fashion designer. With his entrepreneur mentality and vision for fashion, he currently is developing and collaborating with the Internationally renowned clothing brand, Orisue.
Furthermore, in 2010 he is scheduled to make his acting debut on the big screen, playing a lead alongside Edward James Olmos.

A Pediatrician. I always wanted to make kids smile and (besides music) medicine was another passion of mine all throughout high school.
Jennifer Lopez. I fell in love with her last time she came into the station. Mmmmm... She smelled so delicious. Whoops! I mean, she's a beautiful person.
"The Thong Song" by Sisqo. What can I say? They're really comfortable. Okay seriously though, it would have to be "Champion" by Kanye West. I love inspiring people and love getting inspired myself. Nothing does the trick better than hearing: "Did you realize, that YOU are a CHAMPION in their eyes?"
People reading my "10 Things You Didn't Know" and think: "Mando's a weirdo."
George Lopez, because it took him more than 20 years to blow up but didn't give up on his dream. He's a huge inspiration of mine.
Can cut, install and replace glass for any window. My father is a glazier and I learned the craft at the young age of 10. True story.
Michael Jackson's "This Is It." My mouth was wide open throughout the entire movie, I was in total awe... MJ was a genius!
Keeping Up With The Kardashians... Seriously, don't tell anyone.
You do something really nice for someone and don't even get a "thank you." Pisses me off!!! (Sorry, got caught in the moment.)
That depends where the club is... If it's in the LA area, I gotta do "King Taco." If the club is in the Hollywood area, "Bossa Nova" baby!
