Biography / Biographie
In
1992 he become part of the production team of The Noise (which
is considered the first reggaeton club, and their first production
is one of the first cds of the genre).
Shortly
after that, he produced CDs for Baby Rasta and Gringo, Memo
and Vale and Ivy Queen, who became the undisputed first lady
of reggaeton and Latin Hiphop over the last year. Nelson then
went on to release, with his side kick of those days “Notty
Boy”, an album that would change the history of Puerto
Rican music: “DJ Nelson Presents Reggaeton Live Vol.
1”, this was the first time ever that the word reggaeton
was used to denote the new sound coming from the ghettos of
San Juan.
It
was after this that he become the most sought after DJ-producer
in the island, but the business was still in its early stages
and most of the productions were sold as mixtapes. A few years
later he would produce a mixtape that still hold the record
for most copies sold in the island:
“Extassy Reggae”, which sold more than 300,000
records.
Nelson
then put his attention to broadcasting reggaeton across Puerto
Rico. With the help of the legendary Radio DJ Coyote, Nelson
set up what became in less than a year, the most popular radio
station in Puerto Rico, The Mix 107.7.
By
this time he had already worked with the future megastars
of the genre: Daddy Yankee, Tego Calderon, Ivy Queen, Hector
y Tito and many more. But being so busy he decided to recruit
new DJs and producers for his company Flow Music. In his search
for new talent he discovered and took under his wing 3 young
producers, that two years later released “Mas Flow Vol.
1”. Their names: Luny Tunes and Noriega. Luny Tunes
are today the hottest producers of reggaeton, not just in
Puerto Rico but across the continent.
One
of Nelson’s latest adventures has been the opening of
“Flow La Discoteca”, which is regarded as the
best Reggaeton Club in the world.
Still, being the owner does not stop him from being the resident
DJ, a position that allows him to keep his popularity and
ear for new fresh talent.
With
Flow Music, DJ Nelson is still top of the game, producing
and giving rise to new up and coming young artists.
