My name is Orlando Rosario. I am 20 years old. I was born in Chicago, Illinois and raised in Miami, Florida. I have been a mobile DJ for about 5 years now, and a producer for about 4. I kind of fell into it all.
My sister had a friend who was a mobile DJ and had a pirate radio station. I heard his station a few times, and went to a few parties he had DJed at, and felt I could do better. I did some research and found a website (Pro Sound and Stage Lighting) that was holding weekly give-away contests for DJ equipment . I signed up and waited for results. I must have tried it for 2 months. Finally, I got VERY lucky, or should I say blessed. I received a phone call from PSSL and they told me I had won a Stanton Scratch Pak. It had EVERYTHING I needed to get started.
One year later I found myself at my middle school DJing our Thanksgiving Dance. I felt so cool. Hehe. All the cool people all of a sudden knew who I was.
I started to make some mixtape-style remixes of songs for my parties and that's where I found producing. I made beats for about a year until I found some MC's. It just went from there.
I accepted Christ in 2003 and slowly I began to change my musical direction. This is where I Hip-Hop for the Soul. It introduced me to a whole new style of hip-hop. I learned about artists such as Braille, KJ-52, Soul Plasma, Shai Linne, Tony Stone, and other talented Christian artists.
I was blessed once again in a big way. At Myspace I was able to find a lot of these artists and contact them. This is where I met Soul Plasma. He liked my music and was interested in working together. I gave him a couple of beats I made and he felt that my music fit his style, so things just picked up from there. I am now responsible for at least 4 songs on his follow-up solo project, which will soon announced. I also am working with 1 (possibly 2) of the other members of his old group: Acts:29. They are Braille and Ohmega Watts of Lightheaded. Be on the lookout. Other artists I am working with can be found at the bottom of my Collab page on my site link.
Thanks for taking the time to learn about me. God bless.
