Born in Bogotá, Colombia, Alex Sensation (as he is artistically known) immigrated to the United States at a young age. Influenced by his brother who was also a DJ, Alex began collecting music and at age 16 was already a disc jockey at various nightclubs. At 17 years old, he was working at the world renowned Copacabana Nightclub. In order to work at the club, he had to tell the club’s management he was 19 years old. Alex was determined to succeed and his passion for music went far and beyond. While working at Copa, Alex was approached by Tony Luna, programming director for Amor 93.1 FM. Luna, who back then was programmer for Caliente 105.9 FM, heard Alex spinning and offered him a position as a DJ on the weekends, but only as a mixer. Alex took the job and remained with that station for about a year and a half until it switched names to Latino Mix. Six months after that switch, he was offered a job as the main mixer of a segment called “La Mega Mezcla del Mediodía” for La Mega 97.9 FM. Six years later, Alex remains the station’s most popular and successful DJ. Besides his great mixing skills and talent, what makes Alex Sensation stand out in the radio industry? He’s multicultural, he’s charisma and he’s energy!! Alex appeals to a broad audience that includes various nationalities. He enjoys mixing different genres, but his roots as a mixer are linked with Tropical music. “I grew up listening to Salsa and Cumbia because of my roots. One of the first clubs I DJed at on the weekends was a Dominican club. There, I learned about the Dominican culture ­­Bachata, Merengue, Merengue típico ­­when I was still very young. I made many Dominican friends and fell in love with their culture.” Nowadays, his passion is everything within the Caribbean music. “I mix it all under that genre, but also knowing what the Anglo market has to offer.” Alex Sensation is truly well versed in all markets. Alex Sensation equals diversity!
