DJ Stingray announces move to Barcelona
From the streets of New York to the sun-drenched shores of Miami, DJ Stingray has established himself as a true powerhouse in the world of electronic music. His musical journey began with family influences—his father, a musician, and his DJ uncle—igniting a passion that would lead him from bedroom mixes at age 10 to sharing stages with legends. A product of New York’s iconic club scene, Stingray perfected his craft at venues like The Devil’s Nest, Red Zone, and Webster Hall, earning his stripes alongside industry giants such as Larry Levan, Todd Terry, and Little Louie Vega.
A shift to Miami saw Stingray become a fixture in South Beach’s nightlife, headlining at elite spots like Crobar, Space, and Blue Lounge. His career spans continents, with high-profile performances at festivals such as Ultramar in Brazil, and a reputation that earned him the honor of being the official DJ for the first Playboy tour across South America.
Not just a DJ, but a visionary performer, Stingray’s experience as a professional dancer for top hip-hop and R&B acts adds a unique flair to his sets, which seamlessly blend rhythm, percussion, and globally-inspired sounds. His dynamic energy and eclectic style have captivated audiences worldwide—from the underground clubs of Washington D.C. and Los Angeles to the vibrant nightlife of Caracas and the beaches of Aruba.
Stingray’s studio work is equally compelling. His discography features high-impact releases like “Get Up and Go to Work” (SPF Records) and “Dance Floor is Now Open” (Prince Charming Records), tracks that have become anthems in the dance music scene. His breakout hit “Las Calles de Cartagena,” featuring Humberto Pernett from Sony Music Colombia, further cemented his reputation as a producer of international caliber. With Grammy recognition on the horizon, DJ Stingray’s trajectory is set for the stars.
On Air and On the Rise
Since 2012, DJ Stingray has taken his sound global with “Tribal Life,” a weekly show that started on UniverseMiami.com and now airing Sundays on Twitch from 12-3 PM. The show has become a cornerstone for his fans, showcasing his ability to innovate and elevate electronic music on a worldwide stage. Now based in the vibrant city of Barcelona, he is excited to elevate his artistry and share his exceptional talent with the world through his captivating DJ performance and dynamic live percussion.
“I’m excited to share that I’ve officially made the move to Barcelona as I prepare for an incredible 2025 ahead! With so many amazing events lined up across London, Paris, France, Italy, and here in Spain, it’s shaping up to be a year full of unforgettable experiences. I’m especially looking forward to reconnecting with family and friends throughout the year—can’t wait to see all of you soon!”
