Claudio! is one of the corner stones of the dj music culture of Goa.

It all started with two cassettes, two players and some deft fingers. Claudio was never known as just Claudio after that. The deejay came naturally to anyone introducing him. There was a certain style that he had that could never be replicated, be it his penchant for dropping the right song at the right time, or the effervescent smile constantly plastered on his face, DJ Claudio! charmed everyone he ever played for in Goa.

At first, there weren’t too many showing starting off in the mid to late-90s. Claudio lent his skill to many a dance troupe hoping to win hearts at one of the numerous dance competitions or shows around Goa. He grew up to vintage classics, so that would lay the foundation for his specialty – one mad retro party.

Of course, house, hip-hop or any other style is something he’s familiar with. But give him a choice and he will spin some of that old happy music, interspersing it with music you never thought would make it on to a deejay’s track list. Claudio has that ability to change things around on a whim. But then, that would be obvious since he’s been playing music across different mediums since 1994!

In 2002, Claudio was ranked as one of the top five deejay’s in Goa, no mean feat that one, given that Goa is one of the biggest party hubs in the country. Today, besides the odd one-off gig, or the regular pub night where fans gather to shake a hip, or two, Claudio spends his time working on his own sound – a mix of all his influences, set to modern basslines. He has used his talent as a dj to coordinate events for major event companies in goa.

He has been considered as one of Goa's Best Wedding DJ & India's top Retro DJ. and is part of Live 'N' Wired,an innovative group consisting of 3 Vocal singers & himself..The Dj.

Next time you see his name set to a particular night at a club, enter, strap yourselves in and hang on for your dear life…
