Aside from DJing,<br />
what do you do?<br />
My 9 to 5 job is I am a<br />
construction manager for a<br />
company that my family runs<br />
and owns. I do a lot of Interior<br />
design, modeling bookcases,<br />
temporary storage solutions<br />
here in the city. And then music<br />
is pretty much my life. Also, I<br />
am a big baseball fan.<br />
Baseball? Well I<br />
hope you like the<br />
Yankees.<br />
I do. I’m a big Yankee fan. I am<br />
heavily invested emotionally<br />
and sometimes financially.<br />
Do you have a DJ that you<br />
were most influenced by?<br />
Abel Aguilera. Not only is he<br />
a personal friend, but he’s<br />
also been the biggest mentor<br />
in keeping me grounded and<br />
showing me the ropes, telling<br />
me what to do and what not to<br />
do. Abel and Eddie Martinez<br />
are the two. Eddie is on the<br />
radar and he puts on good<br />
music.<br />
As a DJ, do you have<br />
a favorite type of<br />
music?<br />
I play all types of music, but<br />
my favorite type to play is<br />
definitely tribal progressive.<br />
I like underground too. I<br />
think I mentioned some<br />
classic vocals, sultry, tribal<br />
progressive, house…<br />
Where do you want<br />
to be in five years?<br />
I want to be the most<br />
requested DJ. I definitely want<br />
to be producing tracks of stuff<br />
that I made and recognized<br />
globally. Being someone<br />
that’s known to care about the<br />
culture as well. Preserving the<br />
culture.<br />
Is there anything<br />
that you’d like to<br />
talk about that I<br />
haven’t asked?<br />
I just want to let it be known<br />
that the number one thing to<br />
me is preserving the legacy of<br />
the DJs that have come before<br />
me and have opened the doors<br />
for us.That kind of gets lost.<br />
So I guess you could say I pay<br />
my respects, making sure the<br />
people who came before will<br />
get the recognition as well.<br />
