dj el niño

Born in Puerto Rico of dominican parents and raised in New York. He grew up in the South Bronx, the Mecca of Hip-Hop. Music has always been a part of his life. He got his name Dj El Niño when he was going to school. He was called the pretty boy. Bilingual kids couldn't say pretty boy so they said El Niño Lindo. When doing a party, El Niño Lindo couldn't fit on a banner so they only put El Niño. He first began to Dj in 1992 with cassette decks for his own enjoyment. He decided to take it to a whole different level and spin for other people in 1996 at a club in CT called Crystal City Café. He can blend just about any type of music but particularly enjoys playing House, Hip-Hop and Reggaeton Music in both English and Spanish. He was influenced by Djs such as Lamont Young, Tony Touch, Ron G, Doo Wop, G-bo tha Pro. El Niño has gotten well connected in the music industry by networking with Reggaeton artists such as Tego Calderon, Voltio, and Zion just to name a few. Being on a personal level with these and other artists has landed him the opportunity to get exclusive tracks and remixes from the artists and their record labels. He is sort of like a “one-man record pool”. Other Dj’s come to him to get the new, hot exclusives. He is in the forefront in the mix tape industry and keeps everyone craving for the next new one. He never passes up the opportunity to listen to new music from up and coming artists because he understands that not only people that are signed are putting out the hits. He also helps unsigned artists put their musical talents to disc with his company Baby Elmer Productions. Being the “one-man record pool” and helping out artists keeps him pretty busy but it doesn’t stop him from getting out there and doing the one thing that he loves the most, throwing parties, events and MAKING PEOPLE DANCE!
