Bio
DJ Schwa (aka Tony Rosa) was born in Allentown, PA, a suburb of Philadelphia. He was exposed to music very early in his life, mainly from his father who was a local DJ and record store owner. Watching his dad and hearing artists like Stevie Wonder, Johnny Guitar Watson, and Michael Jackson, made Tony want to be involved with music.
As he got older, his tastes expanded to include many genres. During high school, he played the guitar in a punk band and also played bass in a jazz band. His musical preference would evolve once more, after his family moved to Orlando, Florida in 1995.It was there that Tony became interested in the rave scene and stared going to parties. He listened to mostly break-beat and drum-n-bass, but was disappointed by what he was hearing. So, he began to collect records and taught himself how to spin on a friend’s turntables
Since then, Tony has thrown down in many clubs all over Orlando, including Knock Knock, AKA Lounge, Peacock Room, Bodhisattva Social Club, Elements, and Hard Rock Live.
While he plays a wide variety of music, including drum-n-bass, nujazz and hip-hop, his favorite style is deep Chicago house music. He is strongly influenced by Derrick Carter, Mark Farina, Sneak, Roy Davis Jr., and Gene Farris. Schwa’s set is best described in his own words: "I play music from my heart and for your soul, my aim is to move the crowd...to make them feel what I feel, what the producer felt while he was making the song I'm playing."
And that's exactly what he does.
