About Me
First I want 2 thank u 4 readin my bio. My D.j. name is Boriqua 1. I was born in San Francisco, California That Sucka Free City. My first home was and still is on that 24th & Alabama Block in the Mission District A.K.A. Spanish Harlem. My family is one of the first Latin family 2 live in the Mission. If u know the history about the Mission District it was all Irish and Italians imagrants from those country's or people settlin from the East Coast. But my family moved here in the 1940's, the mission started 2 change into a latin cummunity. My great grama Ann Colon was a great Puerto Rican singer, but back then it was a man's world and having 9 kids meant no career. But I was raised by strong women. My mom had me at a young age. (July. 11, 1974) My dad was a big time dealer, my mom tried here best 2 shelter me from that lifestyle. My dad was the oppisite, he would have parties with Carlos Santana, Tower Of Power, Malo, James Brown, and way more people than that. It was off the hook. It was easy 4 him 2 be popular since he had that shit. I was influnced By Salsa, Boleros, Soul and even Latin Jazz. So me and my mom dipped on my crazy dad and moved 2 Decoto, Union City. That is 2 a latin cummunity. I grew up on 9th st. Cross the street was the clinic were we got our goverment cheese, Powderd milk, food stamps and medicare. Everybody that knows about that goverment cheese, it was the shit!!! My mom had the chance 2 raise me the way she wanted 2, My mom loved 2 dance, so I heard Soul, R&B, & The Early Dayz of Hip-Hop. My mom bein young, she would leave with my Nino and Grama alot. My grandma is my heart. I always was close 2 my Grandparents. My GodFather (Nino) Is not my real grampa, but he is more like a dad 2 me. He loved Jazz music, He would sit me down and make me listen 2 Miles Davis, Sara vaughn, Billy Holiday, Ben Webster, Charlie Parker, Dianah Washington, Ellafitz Gerald, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennet, and believe me I know my Jazz Music. I was about 16 years old and I started 2 notice Jazz in Hip-Hop beats ( Guru, Pete Rock, Wu-Tang, KRS-1, Biggie Smalls, 2 Pac, Dre, Public Enemy, OutKast, A Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, Black Moon, Artifacts), Many more songs 2 this date. Thats when I relized Jazz is The real deal. Well my mom, Nino, grandma and different people gave me their records, Plus I collected so many records over the years. When I was fresh out of high school, my girlfriend (Rachael Ide) at the time understood before I even knew that I wanted dj. She bought me all my dj equitment. Thank u RIDE!!! I took it seroius, practiced hard!!!! I had the music influence, Just needed 2 get good. I moved back 2 the city in 96'. I remember going 2 "Cream Of Beat" In the late 90"s. Mind Motion, Ivan, Rolo 123 did the best parties at that time. Me and my good friend Silvia Guzman used 2 go 2 all the parties 2gether. I went 2 a party that changed my life in 96' or 97'. The place 1015 Folsom, Kid Capri made it rain! Song after song, M.c.in and D.j.in. He made me understand that is how it is done. A true party rocker. But at that time I started 2 become a block monster, The night life in the city was fast money & girls by the dozons. I started 2 change. I loved and got addicted 2 the lifestyle my mom took me away from. I met Cluadia Ayala and she helped me throw some of my first parties. Then me and my friend Ty Jackson( my friend from Logan High. U see it, what it do, The Famous B.Q.'s) started 2 throw parties 2gether. Then Ty & shawn Mays started Iconz Ent. Some of the best parties in San Jose 2 this date. About that time the Dj Acadamy and the studio were getting a good name, Controversal Studios was a great place 2 network and if u were doing music at that time u were sliden through. P.R. Gil(This man helped me out alot and I will never forget my nig),Alex, and Doc were doing something special. I was the dj their. I met Dug Infinite(The truth), San Quinn(He is the City), Mac Dre R.I.P., Kelo, Miami The Most, Celski(A smart man), Goddi(good people), Bald Head rick, Killa keise, The Noise Boyz, Official Bizness, Even Odds(D.E.O. that is my nigg, I seen him grow up in the this crazy GAME & M.A. a smooth brother with swag), Bizzy Ben(A good brother), Sandavol, Big Ritch, Star studded, and Husalah & Jacka of the Mobb Figgaz. Husalah and I became Real close. That is my friend 4real. Free Husalah The 5 Star Genaral. Jacka is the nigg and been keepin it real since day one. I was learnin how 2 make beats from dug. He sat me down with Devro & Imperial and had the master plan. Shit did not work out. But shit is all good. But now I dj 4 2c.(Al Lee is one of the most honest people I ever met in this crazy game, Good shit Bra Bra) We do big parties in the bay. 2c makes custum shirts and is located on 15949 East 14th in San Leandro. 2c makes custom shirts 4 the entire Bay Area. Present day. I am ready 2 become a known dj in the Bay and the world!!! I been djin 4 about 14 years. But since I was a little kid, music was important 2 me. I used 2 record music from the radio stations on a tape, since there was no Lime Wire, I Tunes, and c.d.'s were just comin out. Then I neatly arrange the music on another tape and gave them away 2 family and friends. Music is my life and be ready 4 D.J. Boriqua 1, D.E.O. I am ready 2 make it rain.
