Abel Ortega, more commonly known as DJ AR is an Austin born, TX native. His obsession with music started at a very young age, when he saw DJ's performing at the breakdancing battles and also heard them performing on the radio. DJ AR would regularly go to the b-boy battles, where the DJs seemed to have cast a spell over the audience. This caught his attention and he wanted to become a DJ himself. After his obsession with DJing, AR did a summer job to get enough money to buy a Gemini DJ starter kit. This kit included 2 turntables and a mixer. DJ AR's journey in the music industry started over 16 yrs ago. But quite recently, he decided to transform this hobby into a full time obsession. During his 3 year long professional experience, AR has performed with various well-known DJ's including:
DJ LA.D.DA (Red Bull Thr3style, TX Scratch League Founder)
Abe The Assasin (Red Bull Thr3style TX Scratch League Co Founder)
DJ Trauma (Dave Chappelle's Tour DJ)
