Rida Naser (US)

Rida Naser, a native New Yorker, has always been driven by creativity. Building on her experience of creating her college's radio station from the ground up, Rida then learned the day-to-day operations of radio events at 92.3 NOW/CBS Radio in New York City. She was hired as an intern at SiriusXM Hits 1 and worked her way upward into her current role as an Associate Director for Dance/Electronic juggernaut BPM and The Pulse, which plays Hot AC. Using her radio knowledge and Programming instincts, Rida has created well-respected and exciting original programming, such as BPM’s DisDance Festival and BPM Empowered, the first-ever virtual festival for women who DJ. One of the achievements she's most proud of at SiriusXM is being integrally involved in the launch of Steve Aoki's Remix Radio, a station that has its roots in the relationship Rida crafted with Aoki through radio and concert events. She also launched Avicii Radio, an endeavor that aimed to highlight mental health through the Swedish songwriter’s work. Rida worked in close collaboration with the late artist’s family and estate and with Vibrant Emotional Health. With all the behind-the-scenes work, Rida still manages to put herself on the airwaves middays Monday to Friday on BPM while also interviewing some of the biggest Dance/Electronic DJs. Although she’s had so many accomplishments in such a short time, if you ask Rida, she'll tell you that there are still mountains to climb and big goals she wants to achieve in the music world.
