Jose has been on the music scene for over a decade. Experienced as a live DJ, he has the ability to read a crowd and inherently know what they will react to. He was dubbed, "Animal" because of his ferociousness in mixing to create the perfect beat for his audience.

DJ Animal has worked with only the best - #1 New York radio stations and top nightclubs of their time. And as any artist passionate about their craft, Animal has continued to transcend in the industry, successfully evolving from DJ to song writer and producer.
