Louie Vega 1. Please tell me a
little about yourself? Who is Louie Vega? I WAS BORN IN THE BRONX, NEW YORK. I AM A FATHER, A HUSBAND, A MUSICIAN/DJ/PRO DUCER/ENTREPREN EUR, AND A DOWN TO EARTH KINDA GUY! 2. When did your career start? MY CAREER STARTED PROFESSIONALLY MANY YEARS AGO, 1985. I STARTED DJING WHEN I WAS 13 YEARS OLD, INSPIRED BY DJS JAZZY JAY (WHO TOOK ME UNDER HIS WING), AFRIKA BAMBAATAA, RED ALERT, LARRY LEVAN, DAVID MANCUSO, TONY HUMPHRIES, DAVID MORALES, KENNY CARPENTER,
JELLYBEAN, AND MANY OTHER NYC DJS IN THE EARLY TO MID 80s. I STARTED DJING MY FIRST JOB AT A CLUB CALLED THE DEVILS NEST IN THE BRONX, PLAYED THERE FOR 10 MONTHS AND GOT MY FIRST JOB AT A HUGE CLUB IN NYC CALLED HEARTHROB, WHICH WAS THE OLD FUNHOUSE WHERE JELLYBEAN PLAYED. I WAS A KID WITH A DREAM GOING TO SEE MY HEROES PLAYIN MUSIC AND I ENDED UP (AFTER WORKING SUPERHARD) PLAYING AT ONE OF THE DREAM CLUBS. FROM THERE WENT TO STUDIO 54, AND BY 1989 I PLAYED IN JUST ABOUT EVERY HUGE CLUB IN NYC. THESE CLUBS HELD 2500 - 4000 PEOPLE AND EVERY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY THEY WERE PACKED. I PLAYED HOUSE FROM THE VERY BEGINNING OF HOUSE, FREESTYLE, DISCO, RNB, HIP HOP, REGGAE, ALL IN THE SAME NIGHT WITH A SEAMLESS FLOW.
