DJ Tony Ruiz

Billboard Magazine reporting DJ/producer/remixer Tony Ruiz has been behind the decks for nearly two decades. A native Southern Californian, he held club residencies in some of Los Angeles and San Diego's most popular clubs including Rich's, Montage, Mickeys, and Rage. After moving to the East coast in 2000, he was invited to become a Billboard Magazine dance chart panelist. Today, he holds club residencies in the Pines on Fire Island, New York City, Pittsburgh, DC, Philadelphia and Rehoboth Beach. Tony makes regular headline appearances at the London Arches, Bear Pride, Bear Trek, San Diego Pride, W.O.O.F weekend, and New York City Pride.

Tony has become a local favorite on Fire Island at Sip-n-Twirl, Blue Whale Low Tea, and the legendary Pavilion in the Pines. In recent years Tony's "Fire Island" sound and unique blend of vocal anthems has caught the attention of promoters across the US and UK alike.

Today he continues to broaden his horizons as a classically-trained musician, songwriter, and remixer (with Billboard charting mixes for Gwen Stefani, The Black-Eyed Peas, and Pussycat Dolls). Not only is Tony an accomplished DJ, he is also an award-winning solo percussionist who's performed with some of the world's top drum lines, San Diego State University Wind Symphony, and coached champion High School drum lines across the Atlantic Northeast.
