Leadership: Rappy Dooski + Alyssa McPherson

PDX Radio was born from the vision of Rappy Dooski --
a professional musician and producer who saw the lack of real opportunity
for independent artists and started building a new lane.

Much of the platform’s expansion and scalability is credited to
co-founder and Business Director Alyssa McPherson,
whose work helped evolve PDX Radio from a local station
​ into a national force in independent music.
