LOCO BIO
LO.CO.rious (adj. v.) : Notoriously crazy while DJing.
It takes a great deal of hard work, nonstop promotion and never-ending dedication to be recognized in New York City, the location of thousands of artists, DJs and entrepreneurs hustling to break into the music industry. The majority give up, the minority only get a taste, and the chosen few who stick around, shine.
Mention the name 'Locorious' at any club, any venue, any event and you'll get a nod, a response, something to tell you, "Yes, I've heard of him." That is usually the case with this DJ/producer/engineer known for starting the entire 'a.k.a' movement as he is DJ Locorious a.k.a the 'Talk of New York' a.k.a the 'Dominican Kid' a.k.a 'Mr. MySpace' a.k.a 'Mr. Tuesday Nights.' A self-made businessman and entrepeneur, he has created a name for himself like no other in the game, with no particular DJ 'crew' backing him up or any management promoting him whatsoever. With his strong tactics, versatile mixing and crisp work, Locorious has solely landed gigs throughout the tri-state area ranging from New York City to Brooklyn to Queens to the Bronx, Uptown, New Jersey to Boston, Upstate New York, but also to Miami and Atlanta. The Chicago-born, Brooklyn-raised disc jockey has created his own company, Take Down Entertainment, catering to parties and events throughout New York City. He has launched a self-promoting campaign aimed at pushing his mixtape series, 'Locorious for Mayor,' that he's exposed to the extent that every club-goer, artist, fellow DJ and promoter know him as the 'Mayor.'
Why the 'Dominican Kid'? No matter the type of music he's spinning or the type of crowd he's working with, the proud-to-be-Latino never ceases to forget his roots. Why 'Mr. Tuesday Nights'? His online radio program, which won him the 'Best Internet Radio DJ of 2008' [Latin Urban Mixx AWARDS], (Tuesday nights 9 p.m.-12 a.m. on www.djlocorious.com) has generated, till now, up to 300,000 listeners a night. His loyal listeners are able to interact with him via AIM, email or MySpace for shouts, questions and/or requests.
Why 'Mr. MySpace'? Known primarily for his online promotion game through MySpace, Locorious has continuously landed the 1 spot week after week for the Top Unsigned Artist Music Page in the Reggaeton and Latin categories.
Why the 'Talk of New York'? With his undeniable talent, radio show and newest launch, Locorious TV via YouTube, the DJ has gained fans and haters all over the world as a result of his nonstop hustle and success coming hand-in-hand with it.
Also working on his record label 'NEW CHAPTER MUSIC GROUP' with his main artist 'DYNASTY' aka The Prince of Dancehall, which he grantees to be a success, as well with a number of upcoming talent worldwide and along with other promotional, production and entertainment companies, his face and name have become familiar all over within such a short period of time. His dedication and humility have taken him halfway up the ladder; his hunger and motivation will take this 'Dominican Kid' all the way.
