About Me
DJ RIKO G BEGAN MIXING AT THE AGE OF 15 STARTING OFF AS A GARAGE DJ, JUST IN IT FOR THE LOVE OF THE MUSIC, IT QUICKLY GREW INTO SOMETHING MORE.
IN 1999 RIKO G TEAMED UP WITH DJ CORTEZ, WHO THEN POLISHED UP HIS SKILLS AND GAVE HIM THE ABILITY TO TAKE HIS GAME TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
THAT SAME YEAR RIKO G GOT HIS BIG BREAK AND BEGAN SPINNING ALL OVER HOLLYWOOD, GLENDALE, AND THE GREATER LOS ANGELES AREA, HOLDING DOWN RESIDENCIES
AT PLACES SUCH AS: SKY SUSHI, SADDLE RANCH, THE ARENA, AND THE NOW RENAMED MINX IN GLENDALE.
OVER THE PAST TEN YEARS RIKO G HAS SPUN AT HUNDREDS OF CLUBS AND EVENTS, VARYING FROM GRAD NIGHTS AT DISNEYLAND, TO THE WORLD FAMOUS HOUSE OF BLUES IN HOLLYWOOD.
HIS UNIQUE LOVE FOR MUSIC AND CROSSING OF GENRES, ALONG WITH HIS QUICK STYLE OF MIXING EITHER ON VINYL OR DIGITAL, HAVE SEPARATED HIM FROM THE NOW PACK OF
MANY ( LAPTOP DJ'S ) IN THE INDUSTRY.
" IM OLDSCHOOL I GREW UP LISTENING TO GREAT DJ'S LIKE, RICHARD HUMPTY VISSION, DJ ENRIE, DJ LYNNWOOD, AND DJ VICE THOSE GUYS ARE LEGENDS "
" I TOOK A BIT OF VISSION'S QUICKNESS, MIXED IT WITH SOME OF ENRIE'S VARIETY & CONFIDENCE, THEN ADDED LYNNWOOD'S CLEAN MIXING, AND FINALY INJECTED SOME OF
VICE'S TRICKS TO MY ARSENAL, AND THAT'S HOW I CAME UP WITH MY OWN UNIQUE STYLE "
THAT UNIQUE STYLE TODAY HAS MADE RIKO G ONE OF THE BEST, AND MOST "UNDERRATED" DJ'S IN THE GAME.
AT ANY GIVEN TIME YOU CAN CATCH RIKO G MIXING A HIP HOP TRACK FOLLOWED BY A CUMBIA, AND TRANSITIONING INTO MANY GENRES OF MUSIC SEAMLESSLY THROUGHOUT
ANY OF HIS SETS.
" IT'S WHAT I LOVE TO DO I LIKE TO BE DIFFERENT, I AM NOT JUST A HIP HOP DJ, I AM AN ALL AROUND DJ, MUSIC IS LIKE POETRY IT HAS NO BOUNDARIES "
HIS ABILITY OF QUICK MIXING, CLEANLINESS, LIVE MASHUPS, SCRATCHING, AND CROWD CONTROL HAVE KEPT HIM BUSY AND IN DEMAND.
YOU CAN CURRENTLY CATCH RIKO G AT ONE OF MANY SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA NIGHT CLUBS ON ANY GIVEN WEEKEND, PLAYING ANY GIVEN GENRE AND BRINGING HIS ENERGY TO THE MASSES.
STAY POSTED FOR THE NEW CD DROPPING IN EARLY 2010!
