About me, I have been recording & mixing Latin Jazz & Salsa Gorda since 1977, I also mix Latin, house, dance classics, old school 1980's hip-hop and world music. I have also played live Latin Jazz percussion at the Blue note NYC, and at Cecil's Swingin' Latin jazz nights in Orange NJ. My musical mentors who taught me during my teenage years and in the Spanish Harlem percussion clinics include the jazz & salsa legends Ray Barretto, Tito Puente and Charlie Palmieri. I also love to play Latin percussion to just about everything especially the "Fania All-Stars", I have also mixed "salsa gorda" tunes for my brother from another mother and dear fellow friend Pedro Gomez back at Telemundo TV studios in Hato Rey PR, que viva la salsa por que aqui se formo la rumba!!!!

His passion for music started at his early age when he was around12 and got his first vinyl single. Then, he managed to complete his equipment with 2 mixer tables and 1 mixer panel, and after some time of trying out, he started to record his first mixtapes. Some years later, in collaboration with other DJ´s, he did some productions for pirate radio stations in the region. And after that, in the 90´s he was working as DJ for different local and regional radio stations. Later on, in the Early 2000´s he has started his own radio station called Radio Candela, which has been the platform to produce his two most significant programs The Latin top 30 and La Fiesta, which are being currently broadcasted in more than thirty radio stations.
