Hi there! My name is Fidel, I’m a professional DJ with 20 years experience in the nightlife industry.
Below you’ll find a brief history of myself, information on the DJ lessons I provide, and a contact form to book your lessons!
A BRIEF HISTORY
In 2005, at the age of 16, I performed my first DJ gig at a lounge bar in the Australian town I grew up in. Every Sunday evening I would play a handful of vinyl records that I had saved up to purchase - most having only one or two tracks on them. It was through these early experiences that I learnt when and how to play certain records to match the atmosphere of the venue, and the energy of the crowd. Performing for fickle crowds during my formative years provided valuable insights into “reading the room” and curating music for a wide range of audiences.
By my late teens I had been discovered by artist managers affiliated with Ministry of Sound, and before long I was touring the east coast of Australia on album tours, supporting a plethora of national and international artists. When I moved to New York in 2016, I had already performed at over 200 venues across Australia and the United States, showcasing my talents in bars, clubs, events, and festivals with 60,000 attendees.
