DJ/PRODUCER GOMI, NYC
NYC Progressive house
DJ Gomi is no stranger to the recording studio. A student of famed record producer Quincy Jones at Berklee College of Music, Gomi’s dance version of Mariah Carey’s "Heartbreaker", of which she cut vocals to, appears on the 12-inch record of the hit song. He has produced and/or remixed for artists including Madonna, Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Cher and Cindy Lauper. He has also engineered for house legends Hex Hector, George Morel, and most notably, Junior Vasquez.
Gomi is widely known for his days as the man behind the legendary DJ. As Junior’s Main Programmer at NYC’s legendary club Sound Factory, Tunnel, Twilo., Gomi added his technical skill to some of Junior’s finest productions including "Straight Up" by Chante Moore and "Everything" by Misia.
Gomi’s relationship with Junior Vasquez began when Gomi, a die-hard fan of the renowned deejay, would make weekly pilgrimages from his college in Boston to New York City to hear Junior spin at Sound Factory. "I was in complete awe of Junior’s skills behind the turn table. He managed to turn partying into a religious experience. People worshipped him, myself included. He changed my life." Before Junior, Gomi’s music was influenced by the European Garage Sound. It was Junior who turned Gomi’s attention to Dance Music.
After graduating college, Gomi landed a job at a record label and moved to New York City. Already a fixture in the New York partying scene, Gomi began soliciting Junior with his original songs, hoping to woo the DJ into collaborating with him on new material. His persistence paid off. Junior began incorporating Gomi’s songs into his set at Sound Factory. He eventually approached Gomi for a collaboration. Their first work together, "Body To Body" by Shades of Love, climbed to #1 on the Billboard dance chart. Other hits followed including "Come Together" and "Lift Me Up." Gomi later released two Billboard topping productions on his own: "Din Da Da" by Kevin Aviance and "When You Talk About Love" by Patti LaBelle.
Today, Gomi is focusing on solo production. His first original album, "Neo Maestro: Love & Star Soundtracks" was released internationally in June 2002 and continues to chart in the Top 20 albums sold at HMV stores overseas. His second album, "Neo Maestro II: Tribal Nation" featuring some of today's favorite screaming diva's and an eclectic mix of dance music incorporating hip hop, rock, rap and a dose of DJ scratch styling was released overseas as a limited edition. Both albums along with Gomi’s new song "Deeper", featuring Amanda Lepore, will soon be released in the U.S.
Like Junior Vasquez, his predecessor and mentor, he has already made a name for himself abroad, playing successful gigs at Velfarre in Tokyo. Gomi now has his sights on the United States and its’ popular circuit events. He currently holds residencies for John Blair at XL and Avalon in New York City and his third album, "Neo Maestro: EV (Evolution), NYC Beats," was released overseas in March 2004.
Get ready for the NYC Beats!!!
