BIOGRAPHY
A Puerto Rican born and raised on Chicago's north side, DJ NonStop was first introducd to his craft in 1984. Always the consummate B-Boy and a member of Chicago's Legendary Graffiti crew ABC, he would listen to deejays on the radio while he and his crew were breakdancing. On one occasion, the deejay cutoff the song before the break came in, and since that time, he has taken matters into his own hands. DJ NonStop began deejaying parties in Chicago and soon became a regular deejay for many concert/parties that were held around the city. He knew he had found his calling, when in a city where the locals in the (north, south, east, west) stick with their own, NonStop found himself rocking parties on every side of town. In 1991 NonStop went on tour as the DJ for one of the most successful Freestyle Groups in the World, TKA, which included doing scratches on their biggest hit, "Maria" In 1993, NonStop embarked on one of his most successful professional ventures as the deejay of a popular Hip Hop/Dance group called K-7 signed to Tommy Boy Records. They went on to tour internationally and sell almost 1,000,000 copies with two gold singles in the U.S. Always looking to expand his horizons, DJ NonStop entered the mixtape game with his first mixtape 90's School of Hip Hop. H made real headway with his follow up tape 80's School of Hip Hop which he sold over 6,000 copies out of the trunk of his car. Since that time, he has garnered more street acclaim with the success of his Club Banger Mixtape Series that highlights his gift for blending and his keen ear for the hottest music. In 2003, DJ NonStop continued breaking down industry doors when he became a mixer for Chicago's own B96. NonStop, may be his deejay name, but also seems to be his philosophy on life. His relentless pursuit for excellence in his craft also led him to become the deejay/Hype Man for Def Jam/Ruff Ryder recording artist DMX (R.I.P.) a position that lasted 18 years until DMX's untimely Death. Also in 2003 NonStop became a member of the world famous Heavy Hitters DJ Crew. In 2008 DJ NonStop became a resident deejay on Chicago's Big Station WGCI & IHeartradio. On Jan 1st 2018 Due to the direction Hip Hop was headed, DJ NonStop decided to make a change and can now be heard on the newly launched, 104.3 JAMS, which is the #1 station for throwbacks. DJ NonStop maintains balance in his fast-paced life that his name describes, with genuine appreciation for what he does. "I'm still a student after forty plus years," he professes. It is this dedication paired with his sincere humility that distinguishes DJ NonStop from his contemporaries. His motto is "I speak with my hands, just listen"
