Playing Marshall Jefferson, Chip E, Fast Eddie and many of the Chicago Trax Records was a tough sell in NYC. Many hours of playing records and not having much of a life outside of the two turntables and crates of records purchased with newspaper route money, the craft was constructed.

For ten years he played in front of crowds for weddings and various other parties, this is where he learned the master of the mix and the ability to look at the crowd and know what they want. He continued to experiment different ways of blending records without much notice from the people dancing that the song had changed.

The many ventures in his live lead him to LA for one year where he started playing lounges and small clubs. The west coast was not like the east coast so he made a foray into Hip Hop and R&B in order to keep working steady gigs.

He then started getting gigs in San Fran, San Jose and Texas (Cyber Fest, Hoodman Rave and DJing on Wild 94.9). After returning to NYC he ventured into lounges and small venues playing Down Tempo and Jazz House at places like Centro Fly, The Boiler Room & Faluka.

In 2001 it was off to the windy city. After almost three years in Chicago where Ken has played venues such as Sushi Wabi, Hard Drive Jet, Funky Buddha Lounge and Hoggs and Honey's he's back in NYC where it all began. Listening to a set by Ken is definitely worth your time with all the different blends of music he can fit in a lounge / dance / tribal rhythm set.

DJ Ken Figueroa was born July 26th 1970 in Brooklyn New York.
