The profile

He doesn't play songs.
He reads the room.

Born in Cali, Colombia, based in Miami since 2017. Professional DJ and music producer with tracks that have reached the sales Top 10 on Traxsource and Beatport.

He has shared the stage with Daddy Yankee, Marc Anthony, Romeo Santos, Carlos Vives, Nicky Jam, Grupo Niche and Maluma, before crowds of more than 25,000. Before Miami he spent 11 years in radio production at one of Cali's most influential stations.

Today his work lives in the pools, rooftops and ballrooms of Miami Beach, Brickell and Fort Lauderdale's leading hotels: luxury musical accompaniment, concepts tailored to each venue, and curation built set by set.

Music DJ Academy

The school he founded in Miami. In December 2023 alone, more than 16 graduates were already playing at established events, restaurants and hotels across the city.

Where I work

Every city

has its own dance floor

A set that works in Brickell does not land the same way in Kissimmee or in Ybor. These are the pages where I explain what changes in each market and how I work there.

DJ in Miami & Miami Beach

I'm not new here. Miami made me.

See the page → DJ in Tampa Bay

Tampa is not Miami. Neither is the set.

See the page → DJ in Orlando & Kissimmee

The Latin floor here is Puerto Rican.

Colombian party

I'm from Cali. Salsa is inherited.

I'm caleño. The salsa I play is Niche and Guayacán, not New York — and I build the rest of the night by region: costeño, paisa, caleño.

FAQ

Before you book

Which cities do you cover?

Based in Miami, working regularly across Miami Beach, Brickell, Coral Gables and Fort Lauderdale. I also cover Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Lakeland, Orlando, Sarasota, Fort Myers and Naples.

How far in advance should I book?

For weddings and large-format corporate events, 6 to 12 months. For residencies and hotel events, 4 weeks is usually sufficient.

Do you carry liability insurance?

Yes. The certificate of insurance is issued naming the hotel or venue at no additional cost, as most properties require.

Can I choose the songs?

Yes. Before the event we build your must-play list and your exclusions list. The rest I read live, according to how the room responds.

Do you rent sound and lighting without a DJ?

Yes, party rental is available separately: sound, uplighting, LED screens, booth and effects, with delivery, setup and strike.

How do I book and what payments do you accept?

Through a deposit securing the date and a signed contract. Bank transfer, Zelle, card and corporate invoicing with a purchase order are accepted.
