Loren Raye is Jersey born and bred and lives in Central Jersey (yes, it exists!) with her Staten Islander husband and bubbly daughter. She was raised by a 9/11 first responder and an elementary school teacher, and has fond memories of listening to CBS FM in the car with her dad. She is grateful to use her radio platform to champion causes close to her heart, like mental health and breast cancer.
Loren is a lifelong Penn Stater, spends her summer weekends in Lavallette, NJ, and takes a weekly dance class because life's too short to worry about feeling embarrassed.
Her radio career includes the nationally-syndicated Elvis Duran and the Morning Show and The TJ Show, and she has won two Gracie Awards for Outstanding Morning Drive Personality. She is also a voiceover artist with Atlas Talent Agency, with clients including The Louvre, MTV, NBC Peacock and more.
Loren believes three things are essential to a happy life: good food, good company, and a comfy pair of sweatpants.

Hey, good morning. Or afternoon? I’m Trey.
If you’re curious, here’s a little about me.
I’ve wanted to be on the radio for as long as I can remember, which either shows remarkable career focus or a complete lack of a backup plan.
I’ve been incredibly lucky. Radio has taken me around the world to coach young DJs and across the country to work with some amazing stations. But I always come back to my chosen home, New York City.
I love this city for all the reasons New Yorkers love it, which are sometimes the same reasons we complain about it. The food. The music. The diversity. The neighborhoods. The people. And the simple fact that walking four blocks can somehow be either “right there” or “way too far.”
When I’m not in the studio, I’m usually home in Brooklyn with my partner, Anastasia, and our Bernedoodle, Theodore. Anastasia and I have a pretty good meet-cute, but I’ll save that story for when you ask.
A few random facts. I’m a former Division 1 college football player, a self-taught juggler (but only three things at a time, calm down), a music obsessive, and a seriously unserious home cook.
I try to live by the motto that I totally made up: “Have fun today.” I mean, life is too short not to at least try to have some fun every day. I’m also a little snarky, very sarcastic, and I have some very strong opinions about unimportant things.
I think mornings should be fun. Life gives us enough serious stuff without my help. So, every morning, I plan to play great music, have a few laughs, talk about what’s going on that actually matters to us, and hopefully make your morning a little better.
And if you see me somewhere around town, say hello. I’ll probably be the guy dressed entirely in black, holding coffee or an Old Fashioned, and complaining about something completely insignificant.
