Music is not what I do, it is who I am, says New Jersey raised DJ Slice

The magic of music is eternal, a bunch of cords and tunes can preserve the life of an artist incessantly and conserve in the memories of human beings; as long as ears can hear and brains can bear. Besides being an artistic motivation, music can help us get through the most tedious errands and enliven the mood. The sleek melodies make us transcend to some unknown dimension, a graphic galaxy, spiraling like a kaleidoscope, manifesting vivid and enigmatic formations and figures.

Your favorite piece gets etched in your memory and you carry it to your grave. Such had been contemplated by the young Chris Rodriguez, a.k.a, DJ Slice, the Philadelphian DJ born in Camden, New Jersey, later on moving to Wildwood, New Jersey, spent his days listening to Freestyle, Hip-Hop, and R&B and enjoyed the mixes of DJ AM, DJ Jay-Ski, and DJ Touchstone.

“When I perform, my music takes me to a place where I can be myself, without judgment and fear. I am never afraid to break the boundaries and I love creating mixes by melding different genres together. When I play music, I get to see how the audience appreciates my talents. Music sets people free, and I am overcome with joy knowing that my life has a purpose by enriching the lives of others.”

His odyssey started back in Wildwood circa 2000 and progressed gradually with collaborations with DJ Master J and M&J Entertainment and performing at private parties and nightclubs. His journey was pretty bumpy but his eyes never stopped dreaming. Bob Maschio of Coastal Broadcasting System once offered him a position as a board operator and it was just the start.

Even though the job was not close to his heart, he stood, took a deep breath, and held himself together. Slice strengthened his career base by moving to Philadelphia and by the divine’s grace, he met DJ TYC of Entertainment Unlimited, which paved the passageway to his stardom.
