Music Fanatix · Official Bio
DJ
Vicious
30+ years behind the decks. One unwavering commitment to the culture.
Rooted in Guyana, Built in New York
DJ Vicious didn't come to music through convenience — he came through culture. Born in Guyana, he grew up surrounded by a richness of sound that most people never get to experience from the inside: soca, reggae, dancehall, chutney, Bollywood, Indian Caribbean rhythms woven into the fabric of everyday life. Music wasn't background noise. It was how his community expressed who they were, where they came from, and what they carried with them across oceans and borders.
That foundation never left him. When he arrived in New York and found his footing in the Caribbean diaspora communities of Queens, he brought all of it with him — the deep listening, the cultural fluency, the understanding that different music means different things to different people, and that a DJ's job is to know the difference.
He picked up his first pair of decks in the late 90s and never put them down.
Learning the Hard Way, the Right Way
Coming up in an era before digital shortcuts, DJ Vicious learned DJing the way it was meant to be learned — through crates, through crowd watching, through late nights and early mornings and the kind of repetition that builds something that can't be faked. Vinyl first. Feel second. Everything else after.
He performed across the full spectrum of what Queens nightlife had to offer: nightclubs, cultural festivals and fetes, weddings and private events, and radio. Each space demanded something different. Nightclubs wanted energy and momentum. Weddings required reading a room that might span three generations. Festivals called for cultural precision — you don't play Indian music for a Guyanese wedding crowd the same way you play it for a Trinidadian one. These nuances are what separates a DJ from a great DJ, and DJ Vicious spent years learning every one of them.
"DJing is not about playing songs. It's about reading people — and being honest enough to give them what they need, not just what's easy."
His genre range became one of his defining strengths. Where many DJs specialize in one lane, DJ Vicious moves fluidly across soca, reggae, dancehall, chutney, Bollywood, and Hip Hop & R&B — not as a novelty, but because his background genuinely lives in all of those spaces. That versatility isn't performed. It's lived.
A Brand Built on Brotherhood
Music Fanatix wasn't DJ Vicious's idea alone — it was a partnership. He co-founded the brand alongside DJ Roy, a fellow DJ who shared the same vision: create something that honored Caribbean music, respected the culture it came from, and gave it the platform it deserved. Together, they built the Music Fanatix name from the ground up.
Their first CD under the Music Fanatix banner was the proof of concept — a real, physical body of work that captured everything they stood for. It was the kind of project that takes real commitment, real creative alignment, and real love for the music. And it delivered.
After that first CD, DJ Vicious and DJ Roy went their separate ways — not with animosity, but with the natural divergence of two driven people on parallel paths. What came next said everything: both of them went on to run two of the top clubs in Queens, New York. Different stages. The same standard.
DJ Vicious carried the Music Fanatix name forward, and over the years built it into something that reflected the full depth of his career — a platform rooted in culture, driven by craft, and dedicated to the music that shaped him.
Over 100 Remixes.
Seven CDs. One Standard.
Numbers don't tell the whole story, but sometimes they tell enough. Over the course of his career, DJ Vicious has produced over 100 remixes — not as a volume exercise, but as a sustained creative practice. Each remix is an act of reinterpretation: taking something that already exists and finding the version of it that hits harder, lands differently, or opens the track up to an audience it hadn't reached yet.
Across seven CD releases, he built a catalog that spans genres, decades, and moods. These aren't mixtapes thrown together overnight. They are curated listening experiences — the kind you put on from start to finish because the sequencing itself is part of the art. For the Caribbean and South Asian diaspora communities who grew up with these sounds, his CDs became part of the soundtrack of their lives in New York.
That's not an accident. That's 30 years of knowing exactly who you're making music for.
Still Creating.
Still Music Fanatix.
DJ Vicious isn't chasing the spotlight anymore — but he hasn't stepped away from the music either. Today, he channels his energy into what matters most: livestreaming for a community that has followed him for decades, and continuing to work on new remixes that carry the same care and intention as every track he's ever touched.
The platform he's building through Music Fanatix is about more than performances. It's about preservation. It's about making sure the cultural knowledge, the DJ education, and the deep respect for Caribbean and South Asian music doesn't get lost in a world that moves fast and forgets faster. It's about giving the next generation of DJs something real to learn from — not just the technique, but the why behind it.
After 30+ years, the passion hasn't faded. If anything, it's more focused. Less about proving something, more about leaving something behind that matters.
Music Fanatix is DJ Vicious's life's work made visible — a brand that carries Guyana, Queens, the crates, the crowds, the culture, and the craft all at once. It is, in his own words, legacy over hype.
That's what it's always been. That's what it will always be.
