DJ Camilo was a colombian kid from queens named juan camilo sanchez. Introduced to the art of turntables at age 12, camilo debuted his first mixtape in the 1990’s called “camilo vol. 1”. Encouraged by the response “camilo vol. 1” received, camilo began releasing mixtapes every month and quickly made a name for himself in the nyc club scene. In 2001, he caught the eye of dj enuff, who not only was the notorious b.i.g.’s former dj but also worked at the most famous hip-hop radio station in america: new york’s hot 97. Along with the late dj threat, enuff invited camilo to join their new dj crew.
In 2001, camilo earned himself a spot on hot 97’s roster, hosting his own saturday night show called “take it to the streets.” The success of “take it to the streets” led to an additional show on friday nights, appropriately titled “the heavy hitter hour”, as well as occasionally filling in on the “rush hour” show for dj enuff. Currently, camilo continues to host the “the heavy hitter hour” and in 2010 added the “new at 2”, which airs daily. In an era of a market flooded with free internet mixtapes and constant album leaks, camilo blesses his “new at 2” listeners with the hottest new songs everyday. No wonder it’s the #1 show in the 2 pm slot in the #1 radio market in the country!
Besides hosting two shows at hot 97, dj camilo continues to live up to his title of international club king: to date, he has played in belgium, switzerland, austria, london, paris, saint tropez, cannes, spain, finland, germany, japan, italy, sweden and amsterdam, among other countries. In 2010, he partnered with diddy and ciroc vodka to become one of the “ciroc boyz”, a crew of sponsored urban djs from across the nation, and was featured in a national promotional ad campaign. Recently, camilo joined heineken’s red star access tour, performing in new york and philadelphia with g.o.o.d. Music’s pusha t. He was named latin mixx’s dj of the year (east coast) in 2010, and along with dj enuff and dj cipha sounds starred in the reality show.
