Whether she's live on the radio or rockin' the mic at all of the various night clubs, Astra truly lives up to the meaning of her name. She IS the "star" that shines at night. Known as Astra "After Dark" on Long Island's Number 1 Hit Music Station, 106.1 BLI , she has taken over the Island by storm! Astra is every girls best friend and seems to be every guys "Top 8". Astra, a native New Yorker, was born and lived in Manhattan, and on Long Island. Since the age of 2, Astra has always been in the limelight. She started as a print work model with her priceless smile, which eventually led into television work with roles on MTV, and HBO - to name a few. She graduated from Molloy College with a B.A. in Communications, and a minor in Spanish and landed her first job at News 12 Long Island. The entertainment world started grabbing at her and with a growing love for music, and celebrity gossip, she later landed her first on air gig at WXXP - Party 105.3 where she did mid-days for a few years. As the celebrity interviews started to roll in by the dozens, her love for various types of music began to grow, and she later picked up afternoons at their sister station, WLIR. Her next step was New York City. She became the Morning Show Producer for WNEW- The New Mix 102.7 where she worked with Michelle Visage and Joe Causi. While working full time in Manhattan, she connected with a well known voice over company and began doing voice work and parodies for radio stations in the tri-state area. The on-air itch continued to gnaw away at Astra, and since being on the air is where her passion was, she chose to work 7 days a week and picked up weekend shifts at WBLI until she was offered the night position. The rest is history and she continues to live her dream rockin' the airwaves every weeknight on 106.1 BLI from 7pm-Midnight.
