My name is Junior, better known as DJ Big Daddy. I was born on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico in Cataño. As a kid, I was surrounded by local musicians who some were friends and members of my family who exposed me to the art of music. As my passion for the music grew, I later became a DJ when my family decided to move to a small town in upstate NY called Amsterdam. In high school, the majority of the people I knew were DJs. That’s where I met DJ Jorge Flow. I remember going to his place and looking through his equipment, wires, speakers, car amps, and a radio shack mixer. At that moment, I knew I wanted to become a DJ. After buying some of the equipment he had, Jorge and I would go and practice at times to Luis Torres house (who owns the mother of all DJs equipment). Then in the later years I met more DJs, who were Carlos Torres, Luis Galarza, Jose Fuentes, and my good friend Pablo Olivera. Also Enrique Lopez, Ryan and Steven Estrada, Mike Garrasi, DJ Ricky, Richard Maldonado, Julio Perez (who gave me my first opportunity on the radio station) plus many more talented DJs. As my skills were improving and the equipment got better, I then met my mentor, who later became my good friend. His name is Alex Torres (band leader of an Award Winning Salsa Orchestra), and he would always tell me what hardware to buy, how to use it, and when. With his mentorship is one of the reason why I’m here today. For the first six years, I was buying equipment, practicing, and getting better. In 1995, I was introduced to the DJ world as (DJ Big Daddy). I have DJ in clubs in upstate NY, NYC, Buffalo NY, Orlando Florida, New Castle Delaware, New Jersey, and my hometown now here in Philadelphia. I worked on three radio stations, and now I run the best team on the internet radio La Mega Rumba Radio Network. We have the best DJ’s from all over the country in Alabama, Miami, Orlando, NYC, New Jersey and myself right here in Philadelphia. We are bringing our audience the best sound and mixes with a variety of music and different genres. I’m proud of the DJs that are part of La Mega Rumba Radio Network. Each and every one of them are the best at what they do. I appreciate each and everyone one of you. I want to say to everyone who supported me and to those who closed their doors on me, thank you as their decisions ultimately pushed me to find new paths and opportunities. Also to my family, my kids, and grandkids, thank you for always being there for me. To my wife Diamond Girlie (wow) I cannot thank you enough, without you this would’ve not been possible! I love you, Diamond Girl.
