DJ Dinero is a master at mixing all types of music genres with no limit to the myriad of flavors and abundance of today and yesterday. From Classical to Hip-Hop, House into something Latin, blending and fusing together different grooves seamlessly. He enjoys surprising people with an off-the-wall track that they hadn’t the faintest clue could be injected at any given point.

His performance is his passion! Living and breathing music at all times, even when sleeping his dreams are forming the next sets and productions.
