Its Not Who You Think I Am Or What You Might Hear But What I Do That Defines Me

About Me

Im a very driven, single Puerto Rican male, who is originally from Paterson(P-Town)NJ. I always do what i say and say what i mean. 2 phrases i often use are...... "persistence always overcomes resistence". The second being the 3 L's which stand for "Live, Love and Laugh". Follow these simple words to truly find happiness in your life. This is why you can always find me laughing, cracking jokes, being a little loud and just having fun. Life is too short. I work as a professional d.j. as music is one of my passions. My DJ career began as a teenager. I used to listen to the Latin Rascals when they played on the old 92 KTU before they turned into K Rock. I loved how they would mix different genres of music in there sets and incorporate there own remixes in there sets as well. I was hooked! My old partner and i got our own equipment, began practicing and started doing house parties right away. Grwoing up i was always into different types of music, so as fate would have it I quickly evolved into an all around DJ who didnt just specialize in one particular style of music. My latin career began in the 90's when i used to go to Les Poulets and see DJ Henry Knowles tear up the the salsa scene with his knowledge of salsa and his crowd. I was hooked and i never looked back. I became one of NJ's sought after latin DJ's. What club owners didnt know at the time was that they were getting a little bit more out of it. I play just about everything and i do private parties as well. Ive played all over the Tri-State area and ive done some clubs in Florida as well. My entertainment company is now know as TUMBA LA CASA ENTERTAINMENT or TLC ENTERTAINMENT. My slogan is "DOIN' PARTIES PROPERLY". I specialize in all types of parties ranging from corporate events, weddings, sweet 16's, birthdays, anniversaries, outdoor events and even bar and bah mitzvahs. I dont just specialize in urban parties. No event is too big or too small. We will leave a lasting impression. FOR BOOKINGS, EVENT INFO AND PRICING INFORMATION PLEASE LEAVE AN EMAIL MESSAGE HERE OR EMAIL ME @ [email protected] Many DJ's and or entertainment companies claim to be the best. They may even try to undermine or bad mouth there competition to make themselves look better than they really are. I dont do any of the above. I just want to help create an atmosphere where people will want to dance, sing, laugh and enjoy themselves until the parties over. And when the parties over i want them to ask me "where's the afterparty"? Then i'll know my job was well done!I would also like to take this time to extend my sincerest welcome to the newest addition to the Tumba La Casa family. My friend DJ Mike Shy. Mike has not been djing for very long however he has grown into a very good dj in just 2 short years. He keeps getting better and has devastatted dance floors with his knowledge of music and mixes. Welcome to the family my brotha!!!! Im expecting big things from you.found this music layout at HOT FreeLayouts.com :: MyHotComments

...Persistence above everything else is the factor that enables us to reach our goals. There are so many talented and gifted people out there that know the right people and have the right skills but never reach their ultimate goals. The reason why these people don't reach those goals is because they lack Persistence!When you set out to reach a goal whether it be as simple as losing wieght, learning a new skill, or as complicated as trying to take over the world (LOL) or becoming the most famous DJ and Entertainment Mogul in the world((LOL) , you have to understand that there are going to be obstacles. You have to know that there will be people who will try to undermind everything you try to do. You have to realize that you'll get tired at times. You have to know that people will either doubt you, or even worse give you less then geniune support and love. You have to be ready to ride the ups and the downs of your journey and remember while you're up that there is most definitely going to be a down to follow.If you don't arm yourself with persistence through all of the above mentioned trials and tribulations aka BULLSHIT that you'll experience on you journey to reaching your goal then you're journey could either be really short....or even worse....you'll end up quitting right before you reach that goal.Persistence is the common denomenator that you'll find in everyone who is living out their dreams. There are people who have the skill and talent who should be on top but aren't, and their are people who don't have the talent and skill but are on top. The difference between the talented person who's not on top from the untalented person who is on top is that the untalented person stayed the course and hung on until they reached their goal.Persistence will get you through. Persistence won't protect you from the hurt and pain of rejection, criticism, losing, and anything else; but, persistence will help you quickly move past the hurt, pain, and sacrifice and power you on to the finish line.Remember....we all were born with the same tools. The difference lies within our choices on how effectively we use those tools. -----Syntnovator -----Syntnovator

Music:

I have too many musical influences to name here. However i will name the ones who really influenced me and made an impression that will last forever. First and foremost are 2 prolific DJ"s who were ahead of there time. Albert Cabrera and Tony Moran aka THE LATIN RASCALS. The Latin Rascals became one of the first radio jocks to spin live mixes and incorporate remixes of there own work in there live sets. They used to spin for the old 92 KTU before the station turned into K Rock. Albert Cabrera owns his own studio and has made many remixes and dance hits we still hear today. Tony Moran became a singer and started doing freestyle music back when the freestyle craze was hittin us hard. He now also owns his studio and has recorded many dance hits as well. The second and last D.J. who made an impression on me was the world famous DJ Henry Knowles. I first met Henry when he was playing for the old Les Poulet in New York City. He was the first salsa DJ i ever seen who actually mixed the music live. He left me in a state of shock when i saw how the crowd reacted to every mix and every song he played. He worked the crowd and knew the music. I went home after that. Purchased my first cd mixer and began my career as a latin DJ. Thank You Latin Rascals and Henry Knowles I enjoy listening to all types of music. Salsa and R&b being my favorites.I do enjoy listening to other genres. Such as Hip hop, alternative, House, Tribal, Latin Jazz, Rock, Classic Rock and Oldies. My personal collection consists of a wide range of music. Such as Nickleback, Evanescence, GnR, Stone Temple Pilots, The Eagles, Rage Against the Machine, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Bob Marley(no i dont smoke weed..lol)Vivian Green, Keisha Cole, The Roots, Justin Timberlake, Jay Z, Wyclef Jean, Nelly Fortado and some latin jazz by Poncho Sanchez.

Movies:

Favorite movies is hard to say. I own a pretty large dvd collection which consists of all types of great movies ranging from action adventure, horror, comedies, psychological thrillers and even some chick flicks. yes ladies i loved notebook. great story!!!!!!! thrillers are probably my fave!!! i love a great, well thought out script and movies that make you think. Recently I saw "I Am Legend" with Will Smith. Lots of good suspense in that movie. I also enjoy sitting down with my children and watching Transformers, Rise of the Silver Surfer, Cars, Toy Story 1 and 2, Monsters Inc, and all the Spiderman movies. Im also a big fan of Jessica Biel so i have all her movies including Summer Catch. Some movies i highly recommend include: Taking Lives, Runaway Jury, National Treasure, The Hurricane, The Illusionist, The Prestige and Kiss The Girls. center>Take the quiz:
