Rick Rosa

Much like everything else in his life, Rick’s journey to becoming a DJ is a love story, that starts out in the early 1990’s India hometown of Miami Beach where he instantly fell for electronic music just as the house scene was beginning to explode. In 1999, Rick Rosa relocated to NYC, where the nineteen-year-old learned the real definition of house music at Danny Tenaglia’s Be Yourself Party at the former Club Vinyl. His bold style of heavy percussions, tribal grooves, and marathon sets would go on to be the inspiration for Rick, in the same way, that DJ Larry Levan's boundaryless sets at the infamous Paradise Garage inspired Tenaglia himself. With his passionate and uplifting personality, Rick is a successful real estate entrepreneur in NYC by day while remaining part of the house scene at night. Enjoying being a spectator for decades, he never imagined standing behind the DJ booth. That all changed in 2015 while he was trying to find a way to creatively express himself from a pure place. It was then he discovered a true blessing, a hidden talent of making music. Today, Rick can be found performing at underground parties throughout Brooklyn and New York City not for the fame and glory, but as an outlet to share his unfiltered art with people who also genuinely love house music. A true melodic storyteller, each Rick Rosa set takes you onto the dance floor for a deep, tribal, sexy sound journey.
