Saturday April 28th, 2007 - Sandbar Cafe.
Who the Hell is Frikkiao?
PERSONAL:Lets start here.Very proud parent of the world's most Smartest Daughters. My Oldest reads and writes at senior HS level (some of her teachers have even said College level), and she is only in 6th grade. So I am focused on enhancing her abilities and investing in her future.
She gets is all from her Daddy! ;) oh yeah....
I Love my Family. I dont see them much, but they understand the biz I am in takes me away from them, and they support me by Enjoying and appreciating the time I DO spend with them, rather than complaining about the time I DONT spend with them.
I have my Education and damn proud of it. Cause it's something that No ONE can ever take away - Knowledge is Definately POWER, and the knowledge I possess has gotten me all the power I need.
Professional:
I thank god every single day that I wake up and breathe because life is very precious. I also am grateful to god for allowing me the opportunity to live my dream. I work in the most exciting field of all. The Entertainment business. I am living it, breathing it every single day. There is nothing else to left to accomplish within my current field as this is exactly where I wanted to be.
I am just working on enhancing what I have attained, growing, and maintaining it. I have many great friends, and a staff that many would die for. I am very happy right now.
I have been the most consistent Latin DJ and Promoter in North Jersey Area for about 10 years straight... I started as a DJ, then became a Promoter - Now, I switch back between the two - I love it! Right now, I am in Both MODES
br
I Started my own promotions company (FIESTA CALIENTE) because I wanted to teach these dirty and grimey promoters how to throw parties the RIGHT WAY, and so I did. Now they ALL want to throw parties with Frikkiao and FiestaCaliente.com - Sorry... I've paid my dues and earned the right to talk a little shit!
I support DJs to the fullest. I am a DJ 4 LIFE - That is something that never leaves you. I've tried to walk way from DJing and just promote... but it always draws me back.
FACT: DJ Frikkiao & FiestaCaliente.com were the fist to start a Latin DJ Rotation & push the value of Latin DJs. Further getting us that respect & value that our HipHop Counterparts were getting for many years. Now it's our turn to be the headliners and not the openers!!! Many won't give me the credit and even forget.... but remember when you read it first!! today, The Latin DJ Rotation is catching on, not just across the tri-state, but across the country. I am the CREATOR. Don't let other promoters fool you.
My Specialty in music? hmmmm..... In a world where every DJ seems to wanna be a "Reggaeton DJ", or a "HipHop DJ" or Both.... Me? I am a "Everything" DJ that knows Latin Music very well. On top of that, I Play EVERYTHING. Not just one genre. Wanna see what that sounds like? Seem me in the clubs.
I work hard, I am honest, Humble, and I NEVER burn bridges. I know everyone and anyone in the world of Music Biz. You name them, I know them. They love me respect me, because I am REAL.
My New Love - FASHION SHOWS
It all started when I tried to put together a fashion event under the direction of someone who had no idea what the hell she was doing.
I decided use my Event Production experience of over 10 years and experiment with Fashion Shows myself and created the SPRING FLING FASHION SHOWS.
I have learned and gained experience with these shows the hard way through many mistakes, and growing pains. But this is needed when you're on the road to becoming the Ultimate Fashion Show Producer. You read it here first. :)
Since being a DJ means that the creative juices are always flowing. It's the same creativeness leaks over into the Fashion Show Arena. My tastes in clothing include: Vintage, Grunge, Trendy, Urban or Executive. Depends the mood I am in.
I am a firm believer that the thiking pattern of those involved in music and fashion is pretty much the same. Fashion & Music does some crazy shit to people.
My Biggest Experience to date has been being on a Reality Show on Telemundo. There are clips on my page. I loved the experience and I leadned so much about TV production. Another element I can use in my business.
To All my Fans & Followers: I LOVE YOU. You motivate me each and every day with your emails, notes and comments. Keep em coming. The more the better.
