Dj Suave is a 35 year dj veteran with no signs of slowing down. He started djing in 1985 and was heavily influenced by the mix masters on 1580 KDAY which included The World Class Wreckin Crew & Jamin Gemini.
 
He was introduced to House music in 1987 by a friend that had a mix tape by the Legendary New York Dj Larry Levan. Since that day Dj Suave fell in love with House music and has never looked back!!
 
Around 1989-91 that same friend introduced Suave to the Underground scene, and that’s were he saw Doc Martin and Suave’s dj education began. All through out the 90’s Dj Suave learned from the best. Doc Martin, Marques Wyatt, Dj Sneak, Mark Farina, Louie Vega, The Wicked Crew and Steve Loria. And later on it was Dj Harvey and Francois Kevorkian who where highly influential.
 
Hailing from West Covina, Dj Suave noticeably stood out from the rest of his dj peers through out the S.G.V. & I.E. Due to his Underground education, while all the other djs were playing “Hard House” Dj Suave stayed true to himself and kept on pushing Underground House music. And that caught the attention of Richard Vission. Dj Suave was asked to be a regular on Powertools, making him not the first dj to play underground Deep House, but he was the first regular dj on Powertools to play Deep Underground House Music. Suave was a regular on Powertools from 1994 – 2003.
 
In 2004 he was also the first to introduce the 3-turntable set up to the East side club scene. During his residency @ Qc’s for Lucky Lounge, Dj Suave build a House following in the patio, to such a point that it was almost like two different events going on.
 
From that following he was able to build what was to become one of the biggest House Music events in Los Angeles………SOUL CITY!!!!
 
In April 2006 Dj Suave did his first Soul City event @ Ambiente in Alhambra. And from there it went from Crazy Horse, Playhouse, Avalon, Luna, Sound & Exchange L.A.
