What is on record
Carlos A. Leiva, from Caracas, found his passion for music in the mid-80s, along with the great frenzy of the minitecas of the era — and with many influences from his mother's side of the family, music lovers like him.
In the mid-90s he began his run inside the electronic scene in Caracas, seeking from the start, more than making a name as a DJ, to improve the culture of the scene. His style blends jazz, bossa nova and funk with house, in what he calls Deep Latin House.
