THE MIXMASTER DJ YONNY
Mixing records is an art; a talent that New York City’s DJ Yonny has infinitely mastered. By way of Delaware /Philadelphia, Yonny has quickly made a name for himself as a versatile DJ. The Colombian and Puerto Rican mixer is notorious for his ability to read crowds and respond to their energy with the perfect mix, hence his official moniker "Mixmaster DJ Yonny."

Crafting his technique at an early age, Yonny entered scratch competitions and made his mark as a battle DJ. The Mixmaster gained recognition along the East coast, competing in Guitar Center's Spinoff and winning a regional competition for DMC DJ Championships.  Taking his skill a step further, Yonny excelled in the Institute for Audio Research's Audio Engineering, Music Recording, and Production programs. After earning a diploma from the institute, the native New Yorker taught DJ and radio production seminars, instilling his techniques to students, and went on to work at Fat Beats, a mecca in New York City for hip-hop music. At the record store, Yonny spun record release events for underground artists, including Masta Ace, Prince Paul and Immortal Technique.

With diploma in hand, Yonny scored a gig at WWPR Power 105.1 FM to produce commercial spots on-air and work promotions. After several live guest appearances on the “Star and Bucwild Morning Show,” DJ Yonny was welcomed as the Associate Producer and On Air Mixer. Shortly after, Yonny was awarded his own mixshow on Power, titled “The List.” The Saturday night two-hour radio show gave him the flexibility and creativity to spin everything from hip-hop & reggae to house jams. Official ratings in 2008 acknowledged that The Mixmaster’s midnight timeslot was the highest rated mixshow of its kind. Read More.
