How DJ Carlito Turned Basement Parties Into Stadium
From carrying crates in Brooklyn basements to DJing at Madison Square Garden, DJ Carlito built his career from the ground up—literally. In this episode of Coastal Chronicles NYC, Carlito shares the full story of how he went from free gigs and street promotions to becoming one of the most recognized Latin DJs in New York. Carlito reflects on his roots in Bushwick, grinding in the underground club scene, and the years he spent proving himself with no cosign. He opens up about breaking into La Mega 97.9, what it's like DJing for Daddy Yankee, and why staying humble is still his greatest asset. This is a real conversation about hustle, heritage, and how the right energy in the room can change your life.
