Julie & Friends

Meet Julie Tristan

Julie Tristan is the voice behind Julie & Friends, weekday mornings from 6am-10am on 102.5 KEZK!

A four-time Emmy Award winner and longtime St. Louis radio and television personality, Julie has spent more than 20 years entertaining audiences, sharing stories, and connecting with the community she loves.

For Julie, being on the radio is about so much more than playing great music. It's about making someone's morning a little brighter, sharing a laugh, spreading positivity, and making listeners feel like they're catching up with a good friend.

And Julie's connection to St. Louis doesn't stop when the microphone turns off!

A passionate community advocate, Julie spends much of her time outside the studio volunteering, emceeing charity events, supporting local nonprofits, and lending her voice to causes that make a difference. From animal rescue and adoption events to fundraisers benefiting first responders and organizations throughout the region, Julie believes in showing up for the community that has supported her throughout her career.

Her dedication to community service was recognized in 2026 when she received the Pride St. Louis Lisa Wagaman Lifetime Community Service Award, an honor that reflects her commitment to giving back.

When she's not on the air or out in the community, Julie is a proud wife, stepmom, and dog mom to four lovable pups! She's a passionate animal advocate who loves spending time with her family, exploring St. Louis, and sharing life's funny, sometimes chaotic, but always memorable moments.

Whether you're getting ready for work, dropping the kids off at school, or enjoying your first cup of coffee, Julie hopes to make your mornings a little happier.
