The combination of growing up in an environment heavily influenced by Hip-Hop culture, it was only a matter of time before Rey was exposed to the turntablist and b-boy side of things. The "DJ" in Hip-Hop always went hand in hand with the "MC '' or "B-Boys" at all the scenes whether underground or mainstream in scenes throughout New York City. But it was the actual art and technical skills behind DJing that locked in his interest and passion for it. Absorbing all the information possible from attending DJ Battles, being behind the DJ booth at nightclubs, and watching performances from the best to do it such as DJ Q-Bert, MixMaster Mike, Roc Raida, Jazzy Jeff, DJ Scratch, and DJ Kid Capri, all that was left was to get behind the two turntables and a mixer. The rest was history.'
From hours of practice in the good ol' bedroom to DJing in the hottest spots in New York City and New Jersey, the potential in this "career" was endless. Fast forward years of DJing events, and radio. networking, and showcasing his talent, Rey has built a name for himself as a DJ and an MC in the tri-state. In addition, he's become the vice president of one of the most sought-after Latin & Caribbean events companies in NYC. While being one of the main talents of the company, he brings his insight to the company and manages other DJs and MCs within the company.
The journey still continues as he is a student of the game and new opportunities arise day to day. It's all a matter of learning, growing, adapting and paying it forward.
