About Me

The story of Chris BRAZIL is a long one, so I will try to keep it brief. I started out throwing parties in 1986, with back-to-back blowouts, on Monday & Tuesday nights at Osko's & Casanova's respectively, and never looked back. Since then, I have thrown well over 1000 parties, nightclubs, events and/or concerts, with a laundry list of those functions being for athletes, entertainers, record labels, TV & Film studios, etc. I'll refrain from dropping names in respect of time and space, but truth be told, the legacy is legendary in Los Angeles. All the while, the music played at these cutting edge events has always played a huge role in their success and longevity. I pay homage to the DJs, MCs & Artists (some of whom allowed me to manage their careers) that I came to know and trust with carrying the torch of entertaining my guests and I can truly say that I learned from some of the best. I give much respect to the promoters that I have had the pleasure of partnering with over the years as well. I picked up on the art of DJing around the same time that I started throwing parties, but definitely considered it a hobby, only DJing a private party here and there. However, as my passion for music and the art of entertaining grew, I migrated to the turntables during my functions for 10, then 20, then 30 minutes. Later on, I would warm up the first half of the night for the featured DJ and inevitably, as we entered the new millenium, I was rocking the whole night on my own. As a DJ, I have been afforded some unique experiences and opportunities, spinning regularly at live music venues, restaurants, lounges and clubs for a wide variety of patrons and musical tastes. That's all of the story that I have to share with you, so for now I give you ... A World of Rhythms & the Sounds of a Lifetime!
