DJ Suave's History

Born in El Salvador and with a lifetime interest in music & sound, DJ Suave’s career kicked off when he arrived in Sydney, Australia. While still studying in high school, DJ Suave was introduced to DJing and worked part-time playing at house parties, transporting his own sound system back and forth. As he gathered momentum, the transition to larger audiences was inevitable and he added to his experience with gigs such as corporate dinner functions, school parties, Birthdays and weddings. After he finished high school he decided to embark on an International Music Management Course.

His luck break came when he was offered part -time appearances at clubs, which developed into regular weekend appearances.

DJ Suave has since worked as a resident DJ with many clubs around the country gaining experience with innumerable sound systems.

I strongly believe it is not what you do, but how you do it! I am a DJ for two reasons:

1.I love music. I am not a turntablist. I can't scratch like Q-Bert! But I know what moves a crowd. I know what can make people happy and that to me is the greatest honor and privilege.

2.I love what music can do. Music has been a tool for me over the last 16 years, to do my life's work and spread my message: We're all equal. There is nothing like looking over a dance floor and watching people who are completely different yet in this moment blissfully united and spreading positively. There is a lot of hate and pain in the world today. Music has the power to alleviate the way in which we feel and bring us together!

I have also gained tremendous experience and skills in Latin community radio, you do everything. You host the show, you play the music (which comes from your own collection: bought or from distributors), you programmed and produce the show, you interview the guests (sometimes in studio, sometimes pre-recorded), you handle the phone calls (sometimes right on the air) and it's all live!
This was one of the best experiences of my life, I met interesting people (famous and not) and I got to share my love of music. It was important to me to also be sharing Latin music, at a time when the mainstream wasn't playing it.

For the past 16years DJ Suave has specialized in Latin Music (Cumbia, Merengue, Latin House, Latin pop dance, Latin Hip Hop, Reggaeton and Salsa) as well in dance, R&B and retro.
