El Chico is a DJ and Musician http://dirtycheeks.com . ‘As long as I’m still here, it's very hard to write my own bio, if I'm 'creative' and/or 'open-minded' then I'll always learn, always grow, and thus 'what I do' or have done constantly changes. I am a son, a brother, an uncle, a friend, a lover, a neighbour, a DJ, an enthusiast yes just an enthusiast, if I like it and I feel aligned with the vibrational frequency, I too sing on that frequency. You can't define feelings with words, they were here before, you can't describe you 'being' it has to be experienced, that’s why we are all so wonderful, all powerful and unique’.
