About Me... I grew up in Burbank California, in a home where music of all genres was always appreciated. At age 13 I started taking music lessons. My love for music grew in many directions as I studied Classical, Jazz, Big Band and Swing music creating a bigger appreciation for multiple genres of music. I found beauty and cause for each and all in between. I was introduced to Swing dancing in 2003 in the "Beyond The Basics" lessons instructed by Essex and Lee at MEMORIES in Uptown Whittier, where I first learned to dance and appreciate Lindy hop. My favorite music is from Bobby Darin, and Frank Sinatra. I have been DJ’ing since 1996 and Sound engineering since 2004 after learning at the institute of Arts and Multimedia in Los Angeles. Currently I am the Sound Engineer and Resident DJ at MEMORIES in Uptown Whittier California where I play every Monday night and have worked with bands like Phat Cat Swinger, Steve Lucky and The Rhumba Bums, Pete Jacob's Wartime Radio, Big Sandy and His Fly Rite Boys, Pep Torres, The Fabulous Esquires, Jonathan Stout and his Campus Five, the LA Lindy Exchange and many more. I have also worked with Midtown Stomp at The Sacramento Lindy Exchange and Sacramento Savoy Nights with frankie Manning, DJ’ing and working the sound board with Barbara Morrison and the S.F. All-Star Swing Band, Lavay Smith and Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers Future Events Thinking ahead? Here is a list of future events in the next few months where you can find me DJ'ing at: Las Vegas Lindy Exchange October 4th-7th, 2007 http://thevegasexchange.net For more info about Me Visit my personal web site at: http://JoseAmaralJr.com
