Willie D acknowledges a few people who have impacted his career: Martin Vasquez “El Hombre Crusero”, JJ Boston, German Velásquez, Gustavo Tamayo, Ray Torres, D- Nice, Luis Medina and DJ Rip Hernandez, who he calls his partner in crime. Willie says, “ I really need to thank my mom, younger brothers and older sister. They've supported me in my career decision. Who knew it was going to last this long? “Willie has a myriad of clubs he has performed at. Most notably are: M-80, Europa, Latin Quarter @ the Roxy and Noches Colombianas to name a few. Willie adds, “Trust me, we'd be here for hours if I were to mention every club I've had the pleasure of working at.” A lot of Willie's career has been influenced by the Boston’s Colombian scene. Willie says “My longest stay at a club has been a Colombian Club. I have DJ’s at La Makina in Revere for 7 years. I've also worked at Cali Pachangero and did radio work on a show called Colombia En Vivo.” The veteran DJ believes in trying new things. He says, “A DJ isn't a DJ if he doesn't change with the times. You can't be stuck doing the same routine over & over again. You have to improvise and keep it fresh.”
