Daniel Pinks started DJing in 1978 in the Bronx, NY. Along with other pioneers of the day, the street music scene was hot and alive with what is now called, hip-hop and rap music. After college and years of considerable growth, he became DJ MellowD. In 1991, he formed his own music production company, MellowD Productions which he instantly branded, “Serious music for serious people.” He started a tape of the month club with about 50 subscribers, individuals and businesses. That was not enough. He went into branding with restaurants and other establishments. In a way, he pioneered the way for store music branding. He started with a few restaurants in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York. His clients included Chelsea Gym, Cola’s, Blue Moon Mexican Café and Stingray on Eighth Avenue to name a few. He created for them what he called “Mood Music.” He felt restaurants have an identity associated with the atmosphere as well as the food. Daniel says, “When you walk into a business, you already know what you expect to get from it. Be it good food, great fashion or service, I felt that the music should be just as much a part of the identity as any of those other things.” He may not believe he is a pioneer but he paved the way for The Banana Republics and Starbucks of the world to sell branded music products as he did at the Chelsea Gym from 1990-1995. He included their logo on what he called “work out” tapes. The gym played his music as part of their atmosphere and sold his tapes as their product. He then branched out and created the same with a Club in the Dominican Republic called Cheers Studio. His reputation gained him access to the Israeli music scene with a series of Techno tapes marketed to the youth. He moved to Miami in 1995 leaving his tape of the month business and numerous restaurant clients behind for the beautiful sunshine of South Florida. He brings his passion and ever-adventurous spirit to Miami. Under his new moniker of DraghonDJ ( www.DraghonDJ.com ) and Beasby Productions, he has played at the Winter Music Conference, which happens in Miami Beach each year. He plans to excite the world through egoFreQs Productions.
Alex Wright grew up in Maryland. Surrounded by the hot and ever dynamic music scene of Washington D.C., he got his appetite wet. Needing more than Maryland could give him, he relocated to Los Angeles where he quickly became acquainted with the movers and the shakers on the West coast. Making some influential musical friends, he was on his way to learning what music had to offer him. Unfortunately, the timing was not right (no pun intended) and he found himself working in color, graphics and imaging. He was still not satisfied with what Los Angeles had to offer and he moved to Miami in 1991. He came with nothing except the head on his shoulders. He instantly began making his mark on the technology world. He started working with color systems learning the ins and outs of the printing and imaging world. Once he mastered the realm of visuals, he knew he needed something more. Therefore, he started his own graphics design business with a friend. He took on small jobs with big aspirations. Using his connections and resources, he made such an impact that he was recruited by Trinidad Designer Randall Tucker to help with his efforts here in Miami during Miami Carnival. His business did well but the partnership did not survive causing the him to close his business and return to the corporate world. As successful as he was, this was still not enough. “My life had grown as much as it could in the confines of the visual world,” Alex admits. “I saw the need to conquer the audio world. I have always been a connoisseur of fine music. I have several friends in the industry and have always had my hand in it. Only now I had to have my whole being in the music.” Likening himself to Warner Brothers Wile E. Coyote - Genius, he reinvented himself as DJ Wile E ( www.DJWileE.com ) - musical genius. He applies his technological genius to the art of the music studio and saw his future self. Living all over the country, Alex exposed himself to all kinds of American music. Well traveled, he relishes the musical diversity his travel afforded him. Take his no nonsense attitude with his wealth of musical experience and open the gates. The world will know something great.
The two met in Trinidad in 1991 while enjoying Carnival. It was instant fire amidst the calypso and soca music. It was musical kismet. The two have been friends ever since. They decided to team their talents and do something wonderful. “This is the next logical step in my musical evolution,” says Daniel. “I started out as a DJ. Became an entrepreneur of the senses as it were, creating music for others. Previously, I worked with music created by others but I have always wanted to produce my own music. Now, I have that chance.” “I have always loved music,” admits Alex. “Technology has always been my friend and ally. Then I thought wow, technology and music. It sounds like a great combination. If I can make a living doing the things I love, I can be eternally happy.”
“Stop, Look and Listen,” said the Stylistics. Well, this dynamic duo and the egoFreQs Productions will give you cause to do all three.
