Biography
Roger Sanchez is the eldest of two sons born to
Angela Almonte and Hugo Rene Sanchez, immigrants from the
Dominican Republic. Sanchez graduated from the High School
of Art and Design in New York City. He attended Pratt Institute,
working towards a degree in architecture, but took his father's
advice to take a break from his studies to devote his full
energy to DJing and see if he could make a career of it. Eventually
he went on to play at the largest nightclubs in New York City,
and later around the world. Along with fellow New York house
DJs David Morales and Danny Tenaglia, Sanchez has become an
icon of the European party scene, especially on the Spanish
island of Ibiza, notoriously known worldwide for its hedonistic
lifestyle and nightlife. He has maintained residency on Ibiza
every summer since 2000.
Releases
In 1995, he released a production album on his own
One Records label called "Secret Weapons Volume 1. In
2001, he released his first production album on a major label,
"First Contact", from which the single "Another
Chance" was taken. It went on to become a major hit,
entering the UK Singles Chart at #1. The song was based on
a sample of the first verse of Toto's song "I Won't Hold
You Back". In 2006, Sanchez released Come with Me—a
well-received album with the singles "Turn on the Music,"
"Lost," and the double-sided "Not Enough"/"Again."
Sanchez is the owner of his own label, Stealth Records,
and is about to make his film debut in an independent film
that is scheduled to be released sometime in 2008.
Sanchez also hosts a terrestrial and online radio
show called "Release Yourself," with 1,200,000 listeners
worldwide. In 2006 a podcast was created as a spin-off from
the radio show under the same moniker and went on to win the
first ever Podcast Award at the International Dance Music
Awards (IDMA). He has also released a series of compilation
albums based called Release Yourself which are known for being
very upfront musically.
