About DJ COKE-E:
DJ Coke-E grew up all over southern California, from Los Angeles
to San Diego. He never imagined that his mixes would one day
be heard in and between these two cities. Coke-E was introduced
to DJing through a high school friend in the south bay area.
"I've been addicted to the turntables ever since I first
touched them," Coke-E says. DJ Coke-E got his first guest
spot on the air waves when he submitted a demo tape to Power
106 for the Friday Nite Flavas show. "I'll never forget
the call I got from E-man telling me that he liked my tape and
inviting me to do a 30 minute set on the radio", Coke-E
recalls. Being persistent thereafter paid off for Coke-E when
he was eventually hired as a Powermixer for the Cali Caliente
mix weekends. "Mixing on Power 106 is the best high in
the world... you always have to put 150% into everything you
do when you mix on the air because there's almost 2 million
listeners tuning in every time." DJ Quik happened to be
one of the listeners tuned into Coke-E on Power
106 during a Christmas mix weekend back in 2001. Quik called
the station when Coke-E was spinning and asked him to be his
DJ. "I was shocked that DJ Quik liked my set. He asked
me to meet him the next day and I did... ever since then I've
been his DJ." Soon after, Coke-E appeared on television
on BET's Rap City in 2002 with DJ Quik and Hi-C. He also appeared
on Soul Train and The Jay Mohr Show on ESPN as Quik's DJ. Mixing
on Power 106 has taken Coke-E beyond anything that he ever expected
- from televison to travelling across the country as DJ
Quik and Hi-C's DJ. Check out DJ Coke-E during the
Cali Caliente mix weekends on Power 106.
