The year was 1987 and the location was Jumel Place NYC. The DJ scratches and cuts in “The Bridge is over” by KRS ONE and sends the crowd into a frenzy with a roar and intensity that’s just about at riot status. The place is buzzing and everyone is asking “ “Who’s the DJ”? You try looking up at the DJ booth but all you see is a little head covered by headphones bopping to the beat, immersed in crates of records and DJ equipment. That was Naydee at fourteen years old. A young urban electronic virtuoso if you may. But it didn’t begin there. It began when he was ten under the tutelage of his mentor Steve Mussenden “like an order Brother/Best Friend” along with the modest beginnings of what is now known as Dy-Nas-D Productions, then just a patchwork of DJ’s and entrepreneurs, making their way doing events and playing clubs in New York.

Born to Dominican parents here in the United States, Naydee commonly found himself at the crossroads of his two cultures as well as various states mainly New York and Connecticut. Merging all these elements undoubtedly influenced his music as well as his mind in being open to working with different people, celebrating their differences of culture thru music. This skill served as one of the hallmarks of Dy-Nas-D studios, “his own enterprise” which has been his foundation since leaving the security of his high paying computer job at Viacom. While he honed his computer skills at Viacom he worked tirelessly toward the financing and building of his own studio, never taking his eye off the proverbial prize of being able to pursue music exclusively someday. Someday has come and gone bringing with it a wealth of experience and opportunity in the music industry such as: remixes for popular acts like Boyz to Men, Rosie Gaines, Le Clic, over 40 theme songs for MTV and VH1 and a soundtrack for a movie titled “Home Invaders” to be released in the near future. To go along with these credentials, Naydee has always continued to produce his own music to the tune of about 300 tracks (some of which have been released on independent labels) in various arenas of music including but not limited to Hip Hop, House, Pop, and Reggae. He has honed his craft and is now looking to take his talent and vision to the next level.
