How much do you like music? Do you like it enough to become a DJ? Well, this is the case of Juan Ríos, a digital electronics technician and a professional DJ living in Santiago de Chile and whose life is surrounded by music.


Juan’s taste for music started at age 8 when his father bought a radio / tape recorder and player. At age 14, he started with his vinyl or record collection that has not stopped yet. The very first song he recorded on tape for himself was Another One Bites the Dust by the British rock band, Queen. The very first record he bought for his collection was Hit a Run Lover by Carol Jiany.


As a DJ, Juan loves to mix music at home, in parties, or discos. He says that he started mixing at the age of 15 with cassette tapes. He’s now been in this business for almost 25 years. His favorite music genres, he says, are hop and progressive. However, his music collection is not just related to hop and progressive; it also includes rock, disco, electronic, etc.


Juan has definitely a vast selection of music that he shares with his friends and fellow DJs. A way in which he shares his music collection is by broadcasting music on an online radio based in Chile.
