ARTIST  RICK CORBO |
 |
Rick Corbo was born in New Jersey in the early seventies to
Cuban and Peruvian parents. He grew up in Queens, NY
where he was exposed to many forms of music. By age 15,
he was intrigued by the skill of blending music. Soon
thereafter, he spent endless hours in record shops
absorbing the culture. As a hobby, he spun at local parties
and skating rinks. He advanced his skills while listening to
and gaining inspiration from many of the great DJs;
pioneers who laid the foundation of house music and what it
is today.
Music became his passion, propelling him to leave his
analyst position at Cartier and dedicate himself as a full
time DJ. Since 1999, Corbo has been resident in the main
ballroom at Webster Hall, NYC. This pivotal residency
enabled Corbo to establish and build a following. Corbo has
been graced with the opportunity to bring his sound to other
venues throughout the states. At present, he is featured on
Z100 (WHTZ-FM) every Saturday night in conjunction with
their Underground Party live from Webster Hall. Previously
his live sets have been featured on 92.7FM, NYC and globally
by Sirius Satellite Radio. Corbo has mixed several successful
compilation albums for the Webster Hall Records label,
which combined have sold over 300,000 copies. In 2002,
Rick Corbo was selected to join the Billboard Reporters
Panel, an appointment typically reserved for the most
influential DJs in the country.
Further influenced by music and many elements of the
industry, he has taken the next logical step in his career and
entered the world of remix and production. Corbo has
teamed up with talented remixers and producers: Curtis
Atchison (Midnight Society); Rob Corbett (Oval Records);
John "HDZ" Hernandez (Nocturnal Minds); John Kano; Bass
Rokwell; and DJ Style (Knob Records).
"As a producer/remixer, I look forward to making music
which embraces my culture and experiences to inspire
individuals to ascertain their own dreams."
Rick's debut appearance on Knob is a remix collaboration
with Midnight Society on the KNOB002 release,
DJ Style "So Bad".
