BIOGRAPHY
Inspired by his family and the surroundings of Chicago's Latino community of Humboldt Park and Logan Square, Rafael Rodriguez, Légo, committed himself to music at an early age. His career began when he was 19 years old with his first club residency at Kaboom. Kaboom led to his current 16-year residency at Chicago's "Boom Boom Room", where he was one of the original DJs of the night. Having residencies at such an early age gave Légo the musical freedom he needed to gain respect from his peers and fans alike, not to mention opening the doors to music production. Drawing from a wide spectrum of musical tastes and influenced by the many Chicago DJ Legends, Légo pursued his musical passion.
In 1997, Andy Adams of UC Music approached Légo to complete a remix for a Ralphi Rosario/Donna Blakely song entitled "Take Me Up." Légo’s remix made it to Number 4 on the Billboard Dance Chart. It sold more singles than Madonna and Celine Dion during the month of April 1998. Since then he has claimed two more Billboard hits remixing another Ralphi Rosario/Donna Blakely collaboration "Do You Like The Way That It Feels" and Rosario's 1998 romp, "Wanna Give It Up", featuring Disco Diva Legend Linda Clifford.
In 1999, Légo produced the EP Flava In Ya Ear Vol. 2 ..hours, which included his international hits "El Ritmo De Verdad" and "When I'm With You." Both tracks quickly became anthems for that year's club season in Ibiza, Spain. The EP hit Number 1 on the International Dance Music Charts and still remains the best selling release in the label's history. This led him to be well received on an international level. Especially Paris, France.
Légo had a monthly residency at Club Le Gibus in Paris and a mix compilation entitled “100% House Vibes - Gibus - Le Son Du Club Vol. 2”, only available in Europe in 2001. Later that year, Bob Sinclar asked him to do an unreleased track for his mix compilation series, The Africanism All Stars. “Trompeta Alegre” was a great follow up to Flava In Ya Ear Vol. 2 and launched Légo’s career even further. "El Ritmo De Verdad" was licensed to the French film "Le Cout De La Vie" released in the fall of 2003.
Rafael “Légo” Rodriguez has since started his own label, Poontin Muzik, is a regular guest DJ on the XM Satellite Radio show "The Move", and delivers his sound across the globe via digital music download sites. He continues to travel, produce original music, and does remix work for independent and major label artists. One of them was Beyoncé's "Crazy in Love", on Columbia UK, whose album won 5 Grammys in 2004. His remix of "El Corillo" by La Tira, on EsNtion Latino/Warner Brothers showed Légo’s consistency of making the Latin and Dance charts.
Besides musical production, Légo does guest appearances on Chicago's "Hot Wax", a television show dedicated to Chicago DJs, which is also syndicated in Los Angeles and New York. “Hot Wax” also featured coverage of his memorable 2005 performance in front of 4,000+ fans at Chicago's Summer Dance held in Grant Park. Légo’s current Chicago residencies are every Friday at Zentra Nightclub, every last Monday of the month at Green Dolphin’s Boom Boom Room, and every 3rd Saturday of the month at Darkroom, which has been for over 4 years and growing.
Man I wish you would have met Terrence last night. One of the nicest out of town dj's I've ever met! One of the things that stuck out that he said last night was that we fellowship the same in all places. We minister musically to all people regardless of where we go. We might as well do it in the club too. When God is at the forefront of our music career it becomes an added bonus to the people we're playing to. I like that!
Oh, good luck on your night at the zoo! Might stop by.
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that People People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.
TO DARE: To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach for another is to risk involvement. To expose your ideas and your dreams before a crowd is to risk losing them. To love is to risk being not loved in return. To live is to risk dying. To believe is to risk failure.
But risks MUST be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The people who risk nothing do nothing, have nothing and are nothing. They may avoid suffering and sorrow but they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love and live. Chained by their attitudes they are slaves; They have forfeited their freedom. Only a person who risks is truly FREE.
All the best to you valient souls, onward and upward!
