About

Raised in Jurupa Valley, California, Rafael Santos is a Latin House and Latin Tech House DJ and producer whose music is shaped by his Hispanic roots. Growing up in a household where Spanish music was always playing, he developed an appreciation for rhythm, percussion, and melody that continues to influence his sound today.

Rafael began DJing at 11 years old before moving into music production in 2021. While his early work focused on hip-hop, attending Hard Summer introduced him to the energy and connection of dance music, inspiring him to dedicate himself fully to electronic music in 2023.

Blending Latin rhythms with modern house production, Rafael creates groove driven records built for the dance floor. His goal isn't to follow trends, but to make music that feels authentic to who he is while bringing a piece of his culture into every release.

As a performer, Rafael has shared the stage in direct support of SIDEPIECE, Bingo Players, and Soar, performing at venues across Southern California, including his largest show to date at The Observatory Orange County.

Now entering the next chapter of his career with, Rafael is focused on building a catalog of music that connects with people through rhythm, energy, and authenticity one record at a time.
