VJ
Karli Henriquez is the host of “Karlifornia,” the newest offering from MTV Tr3́s. The weekly one-hour show follows Karli throughout the West coast as she uncovers Hollywood’s latest happenings and the hottest Latino trends and cultural events. She also brings viewers interviews with their favorite artists and actors and everyone who is making a mark in the City of Angels. Karli has been in love with L.A. her entire life and is thrilled to share the city’s secrets with MTV Tr3́s viewers across the country.
Karli got her start in radio, first as an intern, then as a member of the station’s street team and ultimately as on-air talent for the JoJo on the Radio program on KIIS-FM. She sees herself as an inspiration to young Latinas who are chasing their dreams just as she is doing.
Karli gets her own inspiration from role models such as Jennifer Lopez and Oprah Winfrey for their entertainment success, hard work, leadership and influence on other people and most of all, from her abuelita, who is her heroine.
Raised in a Mexican and Salvadoran family, Karli grew up listening to Vicente Fernandez, Celia Cruz and New Kids on the Block. Today she fills her iPod with tunes by artists such as Belanova, Calle 13 and Kanye West.
Away from work Karli likes shopping, dancing, reading, having some occasional outdoor adventures and spending time with her family. Finding new restaurants, clubs and places to visit are also among her favorite pastimes.
Karli was raised in Hollywood, California until moving to the San Fernando Valley where she graduated from Reseda High School and is pursuing a degree in business at Moorpark College.
