    The "O" in OBaH represents olskool (literally), thats we're my passion for music lies. There are plenty of modern day funky tunes I dig for, from the likes of orgone, nostalgia '77, quantic.

About me:

DJ OBaH turned a family legacy into a profession, becoming a rising industry music producer and highly sought after NYC DJ. OBaH stands for OldskoolBeatsAndHarmonies for a very good reason... the son of veteran NYC DJ/Record Dealer, Baba Chico, DJ OBaH had the world's best funk, jazz & soul records at his fingertips. Armed with his father's epic record collection, OBaH quickly made his mark on the NYC club scene, becoming the resident DJ at several nightclubs in his native Brooklyn. Quickly gaining respect and a solid fan base, his first big break came courtesy of world-renowned producer Rich Medina, who invited OBaH to spin at his weekly party at APT in the meatpacking district of NYC. Since then, OBaH has spun in well over 50 venues in NYC, across the U.S. and Europe and has DJ'd private parties for Alicia Keys, Lenny Kravitz, Donna Karan and many other A-list celebrities. His talents have also been commissioned by such companies as Louis Vuitton, Vogue magazine, DKNY Jeans, Yahoo, Getty Images. Live performances by hip hop legends Krs-one, Brand Nubian and an impressive list of international bands and DJ’s. DJ OBaH continues to spin in NYC on a weekly basis, produce artist remixes as well as original compositions for television and film. Many of his original productions can be heard on major networks, MTV, HBO, Bravo. He can also be heard on the Giant Step jukebox, as host of his own radio show, Recycled Funk. When OBaH is not on the decks mixing tunes himself he's teaching other aspiring dj's the craft, as an instructor at Dubspot, NYC based dj/production school. He takes his "formative education" with him wherever he goes (thanks dad).
