About Me
Gene Santiago was born & raised in the Bronx, New York. He started DJing in the Summer of 1975 when while at a party, the DJ got ill and he stepped in. After that experience he was hooked...

In the mid 80's he embarked on a Radio Career and headed west to Los Angeles to produce several successful Radio Shows and landed an A&R job with Capital Records/EMI America. In 1989 he started his own Promotions Company and worked with several Independent Dance Labels.
