DJ and Music Producer

As a bi-lingual Latina who grew up in NYC, Nicole Otero brings 25 years of experience as a DJ to every event.  With a level of professionalism and creativity that can’t be denied. Nicole’s love for music shines through with every DJ set she performs.  Studying classical piano since the age of six, attending La Guardia High School (Music & Arts & Performing Arts) for singing, graduating NYU with a BFA in Music Technology and finally completing her Masters in Fine Arts for Music Education all help influence her style of DJing today. Along with Nicole’s innate musicality, her ability to read a crowd is what really makes her stand out as a DJ.
