About Me:
Luis “DJ Disco Wiz” Cedeño, the first Latino hip hop DJ, is credited for being the first DJ to make a "mixed plate" in 1977 along with Grandmaster Caz combining sound bites, special effects, and paused beats. In the years since, Wiz has been an influential force in educating the world about the early years of hip-hop. Wiz was a major contributor in the opening of the Experience Music Project in Seattle in 2000, and was instrumental in the making of Jim Fricke and Charlie Ahearn's critically acclaimed Yes Yes Y'all (Da Capo Press, 2002). His first book, It’s Just Begun :The Epic Journey of DJ Disco Wiz, Hip Hop’s First Latino DJ, co-written with Ivan Sanchez will be released with Miss Rosen Editions/powerHouse Books in June 2009. Wiz was also featured in the Emmy-nominated VH1 Rock Doc NY77: The Coolest Year in Hell, and is the creator and founder of the Hip-Hop Meets Spoken Wordz series an annual event that unites emerging Latino talent with Old School artists, while collecting food and clothing for homeless Bronx residents.
