DJ SELTZER: A SOCIAL COMMUNICATOR.
Music is his inspiration since he was a little boy. It happened first thanks to his father (musical guitarist) who promote music to his 6 brothers and make them develop musical listening aptitudes. From the beginning he started listening to jazz discs, classic material, opera-rock or funk old school cassettes, until in 1990 he discovered rap and later on the Hip-Hop urban movement that identified him. From that point, he begun to develop his career that defined his essence in what he called “Contemporary Renaissance of the Artsâ€. He is a musical collector and a professional DJ, since he started mixing music with cassetes, like Run Dmc, Public Enemy, Tone Loc, Mellow Man ace, among others. In those times, when the movement of rap settled in democracy (like in 1998 settled down, in the remembered station mapocho), where he grew and he get to know many colleagues who nowadays conform the strong scene of rap of the country.
He also develops himself in other areas; he studied sound and marketing. At the moment, his still developing in these areas demonstrating his “Freshness" (Seltzer) and he profess that through music and also a spiritual path, world can be changed into something better. His serious work for the hiphop culture and for communications, make him give brightness day by day to this world just like a star in the darkness.
