BIOGRAPHY
Inspired by his family and the surroundings of Chicago's Latino community of Humboldt Park and Logan Square, Rafael Rodriguez, Légo, committed himself to music at an early age. His career began when he was 19 years old with his first club residency at Kaboom. Kaboom led to his 14-year residency at Chicago's "Boom Boom Room," where he was one of the original DJs of the night. Having residencies at such an early age gave Légo the musical freedom that he needed to gain respect from his peers and fans alike, not to mention opening the doors to music production. Drawing from a wide spectrum of musical tastes and influenced by the many Chicago DJ legends, Légo pursued his musical passion. In 2005 he performed in front of nearly 4,000 fans at Chicago's Summer Dance held in Grant Park.
In 1997, Andy Adams of UC Music approached Légo to complete a remix for a Ralphi Rosario/Donna Blakely song entitled "Take Me Up." Légos remix made it to Number 4 on the Billboard Dance Chart. Since then he has claimed two more Billboard hits remixing another Ralphi Rosario/Donna Blakely collaboration "Do You Like The Way That It Feels" and Rosario's 1998 romp, "Wanna Give It Up", featuring Disco Diva legend Linda Clifford. In 1999 he produced the EP Flava In Ya Ear Vol. 2 ..hours which included his international hits "El Ritmo De Verdad" and "When I'm With You." Both tracks quickly became anthems for that year's club season in Ibiza, Spain. The EP hit Number 1 on the International Dance Music Charts and still remains the best selling release in the label's history. This led to a monthly residency for Légo at Le Gibus in Paris and a mix compilation only available in Europe in 2001. "El Ritmo De Verdad" was later licensed to the French film "Le Cout De La Vie" released in the fall of 2003.
Légo has since started his own label, Poontin Muzik, is a monthly guest on the XM Satellite Radio show "The Move," and has delivered his sound across the globe. He continues to produce original music, travel, and has remixed for major label artists such as Beyoncé's "Crazy in Love," on Columbia UK, whose album won 5 Grammys in 2004. He is now featured regularly on Chicago's "Hot Wax," a television show dedicated to Chicago House Music DJs which is also syndicated in Los Angeles and New York. Currently, his remix for La Tira, "El Corillo", on Esntion Latino/Warner Brothers is blowing away DJs and climbing the Latin and Dance charts.
