Hector Fonseca

Raised in suburban Clifton, New Jersey, in a Puerto Rican family, Fonseca started his career as a fashion model.[2] He enrolled at the University of Pennsylvania where he studied business administration. He left his studies to focus on the tribal and house music scene emerging in New York during the late 1990s.[3][4]

Fonseca held residencies at New York City nightclubs such as the Limelight, Heaven, Splash, and Roxy, along with numerous national gigs. He attracted the attention of the late Grammy Award-winning DJ, producer, and remixer Peter Rauhofer, who became his mentor.

In the summer of 2004, Fonseca's rendition of Jahkey B's single "Heart Attack" achieved the number 8 spot on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Songs chart. His follow-up to Shelia Brody's "U Ain’t That Good" reached number 3 on the same chart.

Fonseca was voted Out Magazine's Hottest DJ in 2007.

In 2013, Fonseca produced his first original composition, a collaboration with Blondie titled "Mile High".

In 2014, Foseca collaborated with club divas Natascha Bessez, Inaya Day, and Maya Simantov for a self-titled album released by Audio4play Records, an independent house music label he started with partner Theresa Velasquez.
